D3 Suspension

During the chassis swap on my D3 all the air was let out of my suspension system

We now have the engine running and the suspension wont lift at first it was the bonnet switch so we've tricked that by holding the sensor closed. The screen says off road height selected when i lift and hold the switch and says access height when i hold it in the down position but doesnt lift or lower

Is the suspension pre-charged and does it need re-charging to work again?

bonnet & boot switch won't affect the suspension, only doors.
start with suspension at access height, make sure it has all wheels on the ground and nothing supporting it

Ha ha yes its on there

Yes the compressor runs up but nothing goes up

When we lowered to access height when we did the swap over there was still alot of pressure in the airbags and the tank so i thought maybe the system is pre-charged?

Have you tried the GTR to see if it gives any information on changing a suspension airbag, it might point you in the right direction as presumably the same issues could possibly apply Thumbs Up I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats.

no issues with changing suspension components, GTR only mentions de-pressurising the system for safety

Ill figure it out...

It may have something to do with the air unit on the crash bar not been mounted as i dont have a crash bar till LR pull there finger out

I think that unit helps with self levelling

I have a orange light on the dash with a D3 with arrows either side

T4 is the old system, for D3's you need IDS/Autologic or similar.

I doubt the system will work properly with a fault stored... Thumbs Up My D3 Build Thread
