    Not personally, but I have heard they work well

    Realistically the ring is the only wear point as long as it has not ingested water

    I stripped mine down when it got tired but I couldn't get the parts from Wabco, they wouldn't sell to me and the Australian rep couldn't get them either, so either this mob have better contacts or it's reverse engineered, either way the piston ring is the right design from memory so worth a try.

    The guy selling these kits, manufactures them in his home workshop.
    I guess he found a niche in the market and has developed it
    The wabco compressor is a common part across several Marques

    Hi Guys I just joined your forum sorry for a 1st poor post (currently on the beer) but I hope to offer info to help save us DIYers,
    My name is Andy I own and Audi allroad (yes ok I know!! ) anyway.... the point of my story is it has the same air suspension compressor as found on the disco 2, range rover L322 and various other motors, my car had a tired compressor and so I decided to repair it, I am a toolmaker to trade and have an small workshop at home, I managed to manufacture a piston ring and hey presto the compressor came back to life!!! I sold a few to my audi friends on a UK forum and things expanded, now I have created a company manufacturing these kits and now sold over 1000 wabco compressor repair kits to all sorts of cars using the same Wabco compressor

    see my original post here over 1 year ago now when the piston ring was born: Allroad Air Suspension Compressor strip & repair

    I have loads of info and photos I have built up over the last year or so if anyone is interested please let me know and I can post more info

    if you have any compressor/slow suspension issues or if you have any questions please ask and I will try to help as best I can.

    kits found here: bagpipingandy | eBay

    I'm sorry of this is seen as a cheap sales tact but I assure you all, I like you just want to run my car without forking out £££ $$$ to keep it going, why buy whole new parts when you can refurbish or renew , I hope mods understand this 1st post is not aimed to be a cheap sales post but for information sharing from one fellow DIYer to others,

    I will be a on going member to help with suspension queries

    best regards

    Andy
