riding rough and high???

[BRIAND]

Hey...
Anyone got some ideas on why after replacing two front air bags this 93 mk v111 wants to fill the bags to the top and stay there?? sometimes comes down to normal height and rides nice. ...sometimes fills up and stays there and rides like a lumber wagon??

Sounds like a sticking vent valve at the compressor is keeping the system from venting now that your airsprings don't leak now.

thanks for the reply!!
Any idea on how to fix the sticking vent valve??

I just replaced my compressor with a rebuilt one from American Air Suspension. I think they are about 160 bucks. It includes the vent valve.

I also installed a Spider valve from them. It is a better design vent valve than the stock one.

might be a stupid question but did you forget to put the air ride hieght sensor back on?

Yeah, the first thing that comes to mind is that the sensors aren't connected. Grab the sensors and make sure there hooked up top and bottom (don't just look).
