You are right, most cases went that way: 1. the air pump can be easily repaired just for $50 repair kit (seal ring + piston). Main reason - overheat (regularly change the relay) or water inside (regularly change silicagel fill in pipes filter). 2. the #1 problem if your air pump's off - the pump relay, change it every 3 years to avoid it got stuck and make your pump overheat working with no stop until it's broken. 3. Rubber stuff of the air struts is easily changed with a repair kit or aftermarket repaired struts at $200 instead of new $1000.

This was spot on . One of the best videos regarding failed rear suspension compressor. I replaced mines and it wasn't that hard. This guy is great.

[@auralife9264]

Im trying to replace mine now.. any instruction videos out to assist?

[@JohnLau118]

Does the computer need to be reprogrammed?

[@chrisholloway2023]

Really great video!! I don't leave comments very often but I felt that this one merits some input! Even great comments help out too!!

[@xiongcal1]

Doing my car too now. What I learned is this. My right rear side was leaning. I then went into the air compressor under the car. The SOLENOID valve where the red and blue airlines. I switched the lines and it raised my right side and now left is down. I now know for sure it's the SOLENOID valve I have to change. Just ordered it from amazon for $27.00. I'll update if this is it for me to fix my problem.

[@duckla7488]

Hi, can you help me lease, i have 2009 f02 740li, when it is parking, in 24 hours the rear right side get all the way down, i can lift it back easyily to its normal position with a tool called thinkdiag dignostic interface , but in next 24 hours its release air and sit down again. Only with diag i can lift up, if i turn on engine, compressor not lift up, with diagnostic tool 30 seconds and stand up. I think my compressor work, because i can lift up wit diag tool. What can it be? The airspring or maybe the joint/connection somewhere? Is it make sense if i change the blue red lines you did? Thank you. And why is not lift up when i start the engine? Why i need diag tool to lift up? Thanks

[@Q35401]

Did it solve the problem?

[@MrFlyNikolai]

Glad I seen this comment, both my sides drop down overnight. Figured the valve was the cheapest place to start, plus the compressor pumps the car right up...when I open the door So I'm thinking the compressor & shocks are fine. Ordered the valve from Amazon for $27 too, came in 1 day yesterday. Going to change the valve & see tonight, because I don't want it to get any worse

[@gusrodriguez9114]

@@duckla7488 I'm also having this problem. Did you figure out what it was?

[@Danila_Bebis]

@@duckla7488did you figure out? I got the same problem. I can lift up with diagnostic tool. But it’s not lifting by itself

[@captainruudvanpangemanan]

do you check the Selenoid Valve? before you said the compressor was bad check the Selenoid Valve

[@mksales1]

Nice job. Very helpful.

[@ravisusanekanayake1836]

Very well explained

[@ronpeterson7449]

If u replace the module do u have to program the module to the car for it to work … when I put it in it worked one time and it will not working anymore

[@MrGwthoms66]

Great video. Would have liked to see the work actually done like you showed in other videos. Otherwise, very helpful and informative. Do you have anything on the rear shade not working?

[@katrinapatton1]

Thanks for sharing. What if you try to change the 40 fuse and it blows each time you change it. As soon as you put it in the fuse blows. This is before the air compressor is changed. Is there something wrong with the wiring or is because the air compressor is bad? Please help. Thanks again for sharing this video.

[@TONY63557]

Hi Francisco. Can you tell me why the rear left suspension want fill up, but the right side will. I have changed the leveling sensor on the left side and now I'm getting fault code 480D81.

[@mcbmwx5msport428]

I love your video, it gives a lot of positive information to what we have BMW car I have a similar problem in my BMW X5 f15 2016 I put the air suspension bag and everything was working fine the bus did not go down but it stays halfway I changed the relay I changed the sensors and the problem remains the same how you can help you in ny

[@arisnuhu6411]

hello I have BMW 750D 2012. The rear shock absorbers are too high and do not go down. can you help me

[@spensonwilson]

Hello, I have a 2009 BMW750Li. My issues is the the back is overrising on the left driver side, which has the car sitting lopsided for a while. After driving for a while it might level out. At night the car goes all the down almost sitting on top of the tires. I had a new air strut put on the right passenger side that was lagging. Now it’s still doing the same thing. Do you have any suggestions as to what the problem could be?

[@benking7641]

I took my 2011 750li to the shop the rear suspension was working just fine before I drop it off when I went to pick it up they said the rear would not go back up what could be the problem

[@nastarship8903]

So Ive got a 2012 740li and the compressor as well as plugs and hoses were missing can anyone help me find where the hoses go and how to find replacement parts.? Ive had no luck for over a week and dealers diagram has not helped at all.

[@bombaclatskibidi]

frind my bmw f02 --2013 (730) when car star the air air pump is working normal and car go up but after some time like 5-8h will go more down ???can help what we can test ]

[@mikestavale6673]

Hi Francisco, I have a problem with my f02 left side suspension that has dropped after a left side impact that i had when my car dropped in a ditch. The right side is up but the driver side front and rear are all the way down. I checked the fuses that you mentioned in your video and they seem ok. I don't hear the air compressor running though. Which is very strange. I even have the compressor relay out but I'm not sure how to test it if it's good or bad. Do you have any suggestions for me. I greatly appreciate your help. 🙏🙏

[@teddynyc1]

I have a 2011 BMW 750li xdrive (135k miles) I changed my air suspension compressor that I bought brand new from BMW (cost $1,500). The compressor died on me 2 years later. I replaced it with a $400 aftermarket compressor & it rode fine for a few months. Now the car stays up in the rear but every little bump I drive over feels like a large pothole. Any idea what might be wrong? wish you were in NYC I'd bring my car to you Thank You

[@JohnLau118]

If i just replace the air compressor, does it need to be reprogrammed?

[@TheWkp911]

Great video...and I think I have the same solenoid issue on my left side that xioncal1 had with his right side....I have a 2013 740i M Sport and the left rear ONLY SAGS when temperatures dip below like 60 degrees....weird....I wonder why that is, but it must be the solenoid....any other thoughts?

[@govnfirsthan5373]

Changed the compressor but now the motor won't stop running. The car raises and stays but the compressor motor keeps running.

[@derekwilliamsderek41]

Can some one tell me.??? If a 760 li is sitting for long will it cause air suspension to lower?? Thanks

[@chrisbraunstein7510]

What if it’s just the rear that sags?

[@markmartin3410]

Your videos have saved me 4500$ I really appreciate it- only question is I'm getting a malfunction warning on dash since I swapped the right air shock out- air pump seems to be working any tips?

[@djhype7010]

Take the fuses out and re insert them

Gracias por el video.

[@aminawaheed3722]

I have a question. My 2016 750li xdrive driver's front strut is level while the car is running but after the car is off overnight the driver's front is very low. I am now out of warranty. I have changed my own struts in my 535xi so I have some experience but not familiar with air suspension, do you think its the strut or could it be something else since it holds pressure while the car is running.

Hi , Francisco, Please I have a question, Is it possible to replace air suspension for F01/02 by coilover suspension ( Normal ones)?. Appreciated,,,

[@jagatheshankarunaratne139]

Hi, I have a 740Li F02, 2012. As per your video, we had the same problem, where the air compressor wasn't working. Thanks to your video, we already replaced the old air compressor with a new one, as well as the solenoid valve and it works, but, after we changed it, we have two issues. 1. After sometime, the fuse for the compressor blows out, and it has done this even with a new fuse. We put another fuse, and the fuse gets very hot, what can be the reason? 2. From before, we still have an issue, where the compressor is running, even with the car off, and locked. Do you have any idea why this is? Please answer as soon as you can, these problems are causing a lot of suffering.

Maybe it's your HEIGHT Sensor.

[@vincentaguirre3959]

xiongcal1 thanks for the reply, where is height sensor located?

[@xiongcal1]

@@vincentaguirre3959 under your strut. Behind rotor. Quick 10 min max to remove and easily install. I searched 2012 bmw 750li height air sensor on ebay and got 1 for 25 dollars. If that's not your problem then it might be your Air Solenoid Valve for your air compressor. Amazon for 27 and up. Should solve it for u.

[@xiongcal1]

Or try to unplug your battery for 30 minutes to reset everything since u put in a new compressor and switch. That might help.
