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.
suspension system is rattling How to repair the rattle?
Is the engine tapping when running? If not, check the oil level. If the oil level is at the full mark on the dip stick, then check the oil sending switch. My just need to replace it. Easy fix if that is your problem.
You should have a mechanic check your window to see if it is off track. If it is not, then they will be able to replace the computer so that your window works.
should not be more than an hours labour (usually around £30 mark) you could do it yourself if you got a set of spanners/sockets as rocker gaskets are an easy diy job, undo the retaining bolts ontop of the rockercover, remove any pipes attached (remember where they go if more than 1, could use tipex to mark) when there is nothing obscuring it from being removed give it a tap with a hammer and replace the gasket, do not over tighten the gasket bolts, check tightness before removing to give you an idea of torque
Chances are you have a bad wire or plug causing it ; It is easy for a weak plug or wire to hit without a load ,so if it is time for a tune-up I would replace the wire set and plugs. Check your cap and rotor also. I hope this helps you. Mark Mark thanks for the help. New wires did the trick. Truck runs great. Thanks again!!!!
Never heard of them being able to be changed.
WHICH COMPRESSOR, AIR SUSPENSION OR A/C.........???
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.
Should be on the air compressor for the suspension. Under the hood on the drivers side just behind the battery is the compressor. The black cylinder with 4 air lines coming from it (these may be covered by black split-loom) is the air dryer. Look under that for the valve. It looks like a tire valve. Remember: the air bag solenoids must be open for this fill technique to work. (Key - on, Air suspension - on) If the Check Suspension light is on, the system is off.
If you're talking about the fenders and hood etc. NO but if you're talking about the suspension then YES
Could be one or both of the front air bags or the spider valve in the compressor.
Look up American Air Suspension on the internet
Hope you have small hands and the right tools.
To check the bags, soapy water them and if you see bubbles then you know you have a leak.
If you're talking about the fenders and hood etc. the answer is no to the 97 and 98 but the 96 will work and yes if you're talking about the suspension.
Leak. Spray soapy water on the air suspension bags and watch for bubbles On bags. Also check in engine compartment wher the air suspension bags Top part are located 3 nuts or 4 don't remember , remove plastic cover that Hides the screw for bags. Listen for air leak from tha location. If that's where it's coming from replace bag.
Legally - No. Ethically - Yes. Once you issue a check, the receiver of the check is responsible for cashing it on time. If they fail to cash it within the 90 day mark and the check expires, legally you are not bound to replace the check. However, from a goodwill and ethical perspective, you must replace the check if the receiver missed cashing the check due to a legitimate reason.
