Air Suspension

[pcdee]

Hello all

I lost my air suspension on both bags, I can hear the compressor but it doesn't lift. Both bags were replaced last year so I thought may the compressor didn't have enough power and replaced it over the weekend.

The new compressor is working but the car is still not lifting so maybe the compressor was okay, could the solenoid be culprit?

Check the relay does strange things when it’s faulty when mine went on e61 used to do exactly same tap the relay and up it went

I've pulled out the reply and it looks fine, still not sorted.
I'm hoping its the solenoid now.
I can hear air going into one bag but not the other.

Any update on this how did you get on?

We're the bags cheap as the cheap ones don't last long

*UPDATE*

So, I changed the solenoid and it still didn't work.

The air I could hear going into one bag was was in fact leaking. The pipe had come off the air bag!! That's all it was, the garage I took it last time couldn't of done it properly.

The more expensive airbags have a push fit connection they used to be a ferrule type seal.

That's a good outcome
