    D3 Compressor failure !

    Gday...

    Today I received the message - "Suspension Failure. Only normal suspension height available" ... together with the amber warning light for suspension.

    Was near the dealer so dropped it in for a check and the advice was compressor and relay failure ... needs to be replaced ... not in stock so gotta get it in (3-4 days wait) ... cost around $1,000 plus fitting - probably $1,200 all up.

    The D3 has 89,205km on the clock .. so I am a little disappointed

    Is this a fairly typical life cycle for a compressor?

    My other query to the forum is whether "someone" reconditions compressors and if so, I just might keep the 're-conned' one for a spare.

    Open to all advice.
    Cheers
    John

    some info here http://www.aulro.com/afvb/d3-d4-rrs/...r-failure.html

    I've not tried the compressor that I repaired but it seems to work OK on the bench.

    My D4 one stopped producing pressure at about 35K. However there was a problem from new, always taking far too long to raise the front of the vehicle. I'll see if the slow raising front is fixed when a new compressor is fitted.

    I have an 09 D3 and the compressor failed after 18k kms. Luckily it was replaced under warranty. I was told that it would cost $1200 to replace if outside warranty. They should last approx 3 years depending on usage.

    You can try cleaning out or replacing the dryer before getting a new one.
