    Air Suspension Compressor Failure

    Has anyone heard of air suspension compressors failing when fitted with front or rear bars?
    Have heard rumours that compressors may be failing with the extra weight & are not being replaced under warranty.

    Regards

    None whatsoever. An urban myth put out by the jealous.

    Compressor failures in 2004/2005MY D3's were due to valve issues and had nothing to do with weight.

    I've got bars at the front and rear, aux tank, dual batteries etc and the compressor doesn't miss a beat.

    I concur with Jamo.

    There are many D3' getting around with Bull Bars and winches on the front. Haven't heard of compressor failures due to weight.
