You should check the air suspension switch, located on the passenger's side of the trunk. If the switch is off, the light will come on, also check the air suspension fuse. If both of these are OK, then the pump could possibly be going out.
Put airbags?Suspension airbag kits might be available, but since it is a strut suspension, they would have to be the hollow type, and would take some engineering. A generic kit isn't going to work.Crash airbags were never available on the Mark I rabbit/jetta.
I believe that would be a suspension.
I think the check suspension plug is under the hood on the pass. side and you would need a OBD1 scanner to check it. It's usually gray in color and says air suspension on it.
You probably got a hole or crack in your airbags. This will also cause the compressor to work harder and eventually it will die too. When I found this out I got a conversion kit for my Lincoln. I would try Strutmasters, they have a lifetime warranty and guarantee there product will last the life of the car. Good Luck www.strutmasters.com
Check the air bag suspension. Also, the pump may be bad.
your air bags have a lick
Yes, it is the same type of set up that you would fine on any other commercial trailer (Airbags and shock absorbers)... It just harder to spot because these trailers are so low to the ground
A good floor jack and a flash light.
there can be many different problems but it could be a bad relay switch to check it get on the floor on the passenger side and check to see if the air suspension relay switch is on, try that for now, usually if someone uses a jack to raise the car and the tires have to come off the ground,they switch it off, so the height sensors don't mess up. but it this causes the check suspension light to come on.
About $1500, but also depends on where you live! I live in Cincinnati and I am trying to do mines and they told me 1500! I think airbags will be cheaper, I really can't say.
One of the air bag sensors is bad. Two are located under the headlights above the front bumper. The third is under the driver's seat. There is an initial check of the airbags upon starting the car. If the airbag system detects a fault it will disable the airbags. So if you are in a crash the airbags will not deploy. Read up on airbags before doing anything, they can deploy while you work on them.
replace airbag sensors, or fix the damage around them (front end damage i would assume)
