If I recall, there's a thread, or how to somewhere on servicing the compressor that operatates the air suspension. Anyone know where I can find it?

thanks,

the air intake for the compressor is behind the fender liner of the driver's side rear tire.

Get some air tool oil from home depot and squirt it into the intake. If you can do it while the car is raising, all the better.

Paulroad,

Got the air tool oil sitting on the bench at home. I'll take a look tonight.

How much, how often are you doing this? Also, anything special with the intake to the compressor? Will it obviously be the intake, or is it a needle in a haystack?

Thanks,

Travis

you will see the vent in the fender. I have not done it yet. You may alos find that simply cleaning the intake vent will help.

so it didn't fall out of the rear access area. This allowed me to start the car and raise it while squirting a little (2 squirts from oil can) air tool oil in there.

kingfishgrapejam <A href="https://forums.audiworld.com/allroad/msgs/227491.phtml">posted recently</a> some concerns about this having to do with a silica bead. I agree this is an unknown. Has anyone been doing the airtool oil trick through the intake for a long time without any issues?

Can you take a picture of the intake? TIA!!
