Air Suspension 06 Disco Refill Question

Any way/place to attach a normal tyre compressor to the air suspension as my D3 is down on all fours and won't pump up when started.

Pump/compressor comes on for a few seconds but then the fault light comes on and then the pump stops.

I am guessing it has a leak somewhere but need to pump it up to see where air is leaking from.

Any ideas?

Probably best to read the fault codes first to see what is displayed?
You can use iid to inflate

Yeah I just don't have a reader and no way to drive it as it just bounces off the rubber stops Sad

What is "iid" ?

Cheers

The compressor cuts out because there is a fault in the system

Fix the fault, the suspension will rise

Hi

If u haven’t got a code reader , need to ensure ur fuses and relay are ok with a multimeter

then other option is to remove ur compressor, put it on a bench and see if it runs with a 12 volt supply provided to it , u can fit a pressure gauge to see what the output is

As then u can at least establish first and foremost ur compressor is ok

Do u know how old ur compressor is Plse , if there has been a leak for a while that will in turn burn them out but won’t know until you’ve tested it

Also when it was working did the suspension drop overnight

Hope that helps

Ps, a gap iid is a diagnostic reader , really are a must with these vehicles

Diagnostic codes will reveal what's going on, anything else is just guesswork and can be a costly exercise and possibly no improvement of the problem. There are no Schrader valves in the system for external filling, your best bet is to invest in a GAP IID bt it will pay for itself after a couple of uses and is invaluable for D3/4 ownership.
