Our experts will provide you with repair services of the left and right air suspensions of Audi A6 Allroad (4G, C7) and the replacement of their components.

Air suspension baloon. If the repair of air suspension balloons is not possible, the manufacturer recommends to replace all air suspension balloons at once or at least in pairs (right and left).

Air suspension compressor. Most often, there is no need in all-inclusive replacement of this component in the air suspension system. It is enough to replace individual elements: a piston ring, dehydrator unit, relief valve, pipes, cylinder and sealing gaskets. If there’s failure of the electric motor, the air suspension compressor will have to be replaced completely.

According to technological regulations, diagnostics are held in two stages:

  • electronical diagnostics using a computer (the sensors and control units are checked at this stage);
  • instrumental diagnostics (inspection of all parts and checking them for wearout and possible malfunctions).We recommend you to contact our service center if you found that:
    • when the engine is started, the back or front part of the Audi car starts to fall;
    • The clearance of the car is not constant (it does not behave as usual);
    • tightness is lost on the connecting elements of the air suspension;
    • when the engine is running, the air suspension starts to «lower» (leak the air);
    • there is knock from air suspension.

    It is recommended to hurry up with air suspension diagnostics. It is easier, faster and cheaper to fix the air suspension of Audi A6 Alroad at the stage of its occurrence and detection.

Audi Q7: on the dashboard appears air suspension sign

In this case, anything could happen: an electrical wire could rot, any sensor could fail – that mean that any electrical component connected with the air suspension system could cause a switch to emergency mode. For diagnostics, you will need to connect a computer to the control unit. If only one sensor fails, the air suspension system may continue to operate normally, or it may fail at all.

Audi A8 air suspension in emergency mode

In this case, anything could happen: an electrical wire could rot, any sensor could fail – that mean that any electrical component connected with the air suspension system could cause a switch to emergency mode. For diagnostics, you will need to connect a computer to the control unit. If only one sensor fails, the air suspension system may continue to operate normally, or it may fail at all.

Sometimes program crashes, and the «Air suspension is not programmed» message appears. The system automatically maintains an medium level. To solve the problem, you need to reflash the «brains» of the air suspension.

How to get to the compressor relay on Audi Q7?

The compressor relay is located under the steering wheel. It is necessary to remove the lower protection, under which the relay unit is located. There are several relays, one of which is a compressor relay.

How to check compressor temperature sensor on Audi A8 D3?

The simpliest is to check with a computer using a specific program. You need to enter the command section, find the compressor temperature sensor and check the temperature. If it has stucked when overheated, it will show a constant temperature in excess of 120-130 degrees. That is, it will show a constant high temperature. Because of this, there will be an error and the system will not work.

If you check without a computer, you need to remove the protection, disconnect the connector from the sensor, take a multimeter, set the selector to measure the resistance with a threshold of 20 kOhm and measure the resistance of the temperature sensor. If the sensor is in good condition, the multimeter will show resistance from 14 to 20 kΩ. Sometimes, resistance can go as high as 21-22 kΩ. Everything will depend on the air temperature outside. If the compressor temperature sensor is jammed, the multimeter will show a resistance of about 1000 ohms. If the sensor has stuck on overheating, the multimeter will show a resistance of approximately 300 ohms.
