Thread: Air suspension

More infor on what's happening would be useful.

It isn't working! The vehicle is riding on the stops.

A hole in an air line or one or more of the airbags maybe.

That's not very useful.

Is the compressor running?

What lights are on the dash?

Have you read any of these pages: rrepairs

If it won't even inflate the bags then it sounds like a fairly serious air leak somewhere in the system.

Usual symptoms would be that it drops down over a period of time, indicating where the problem might be.

For eaxmple if its up and level and you park it on level ground overnight or for a few hours, usually you will find one corner or combination of corners has dropped down. From this you have somewhere to start looking.

The air is controlled through a valve block and after a time the rubber O rings inside the valve block need to be replaced so they control the various airflow directions correctly.

So the first question is - does the car raise up at all ?

If not, and you have replaced the compressor, then the next question is probably - how long does the compressor run before it cuts out. Is it a long time or onoy a few seconds. It is under the drivers door sill in case you didn't know.

Dave

Down at Cooma Blknight got a car back up off the stops by disconnecting the computer and jumpering the pins in the connector (under the driver's seat).

In this case the compressor wasn't pumping enough air so Dave filled the tank with his compressor then opened the valves in the valve block with the jumper wires.

The info is in the pages I linked above.

steady on Onemore,,

where are you located?

how long has it been down?

who installed the compressor?

The 3 gentlemen above may just save you a lot of time and a LOT of dollars,,

but to do that they need as much info as possible---

I note you had a new compressor installed. It's possible the EAS computer is in hard fault mode and will need to be reset.
