Suspension airbags

Post by asoni » Sun Mar 29, 2020 11:26 pm

Woke up to find one rear corner completely dropped. Very common and I was expecting it soon as Bmw told me recently the airbags are worn.

Ordered 2x airbags from eBay £280 genuine Arnott.

I read that if you’re not reusing the airbags you can just stick a hole in them to deflate and remove. No need to access compressor and remove airlines etc.

Is this correct? I’m aware battery needs disconnecting first.

Also, should the car raise to the correct level automatically or will I need to use inpa to level both sides manually?

Lastly any worthwhile jobs to do whilst I’m in that area? Bushes etc.
