no you do not yo may have to bleed out all the air
how to replace air suspension compressor
You will have to replace the refrigerant, but not the engine coolant.
My car is going through the same issue with the A/C. You CAN replace the compressor clutch without replacing the compressor, but the caveat is that you can't tell if the compressor is any good without a clutch. So basically you are gambling that the compressor will still be good by only replacing the clutch. Hope this helps!
By removing the air cylinders and replacing them with hydraulic ones which are usually much smaller. Of course all the control valves and pipework would need to be also changed and a hydraulic power pack (tank, pump and motor) would be needed to replace the compressor that was providing the air. A air-to-hydaulic actuator could also provide the power.
You have to gain access thru the passenger side wheel well, remove the liner and look towards the front and you will see the small compressor.
It is possible to replace the air conditioner clutch without replacing the entire compressor if you can find somewhere that sells just the clutch assembly and can get the appropriate tool to remove the pulley to get to the clutch. Try buying a repair manual and looking in there.
It depends on why it failed. It should tell you right on your suspension check sheet. If your suspension is failing it is a numerous amount of components that are involved. The compressor could be shot, the air bags could be leaking, your solenoids could need replacing, the air lines could have leaks or holes in them, the dryer could need replacing, your relay could have issues. There are so many things that could go wrong with this and the cost to replace these items can be costly. edit: these are all for electronic/hydraulic controlled suspension systems, these are only on high end cars. On most cars, a failed suspension check would most commonly be caused by failing shock absorbers or ball joints. Though other parts also will fail, it is much less common they do.
locate compressor on left inner fender under air filter box which will need to be removed unplug wire at compressor there are three nuts holding the compressor in. You get at them from under the car. lift out old compressor.
The Mark 8 does not have a check-valve in the air suspension system. Each air spring has a solenoid valve, which controls fill and vent of the spring. There is a fifth in the suspension compressor itself, which controls venting the system. I discovered that the seat for vent valve was corroded in my compressor, which would then leak when the system was trying to fill. This resulted in the compressor running, but the car lowering. I was able to clean the seat up for a temporary repair, but ultimately replaced the compressor.
You need to BCLear. Why did you replace it? Different reasons need different procedures.
1 hr maybe. it's like replacing an alt but you will lose some freon & have to pay for a charge.
I had a friend replace the air suspension compressor pump with a used one that I bought on ebay. The air compressor pump is located under the windshied washer fluid container. You have to take a cover plate off to get to it or even see it. We discovered that the top of the air suspension compressor pump, where the air hose goes into it, screws off with a crescent wrench. So we just left the hose attached to the top of the pump and replaced the body of the the pump. I have no idea how you would just replace the hose.
