Air Suspension Compressor Failed? Here's What Might Have Caused It
In order for the air suspension and automatic level control to work without problems, the system requires a compressed air compressor. Its task is to supply the level control and the air suspension with compressed air. To prevent overheating of the compressor at longer run times, it is monitored by a thermal sensor. This switches off the compressor when it reaches a predetermined temperature. In some cases, if the compressor relay is out of date, this protection may not work and the compressor may fail. Therefore, it is important to always exchange the relay and the thermal sensor together with the compressor.
The most common cause of damage to the compressor is a leaking air suspension system or a leaking air spring. As a rule, this causes the compressor to overheat quickly as a result of continuous work, and it also overstrains the dryer in the compressor. Replacing or repairing a compressor can quickly become a costly affair. Therefore, always check the entire air suspension system for leaks after such a defect, before you put the new Aerosus air suspension compressor for your Audi A6 C5 4B into operation.
