Air suspension issues at the rear of car - Help plz

Can anyone help me with this issue please?



I am using INPA software to pump up my rear suspension. After i get the desired height the pump stops.


After about 10 seconds you hear a click from the air compressor and slowly you can hear air leaking back out.


Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Do i need a new pump or the valves?



Any help is most appreciated.


Thank you

Is it bleeding out from the purge valve? Did you check for leaks? Popped bags? Soapy water can be your best friend sometimes

Are you just doing the inflation test or are you actually setting the ride height?

Sorry i forgot to add this information. The air suspension bags are new and have no leaks. Using soapy water i checked all the connections on the system and found no leaks.


The air compressor has been unbolted so i can see and hear it working etc.



After i pump up the air bags after 10 seconds you can hear the air hissing out from the air pump. May be valves etc but not sure at this stage.

Thank you

I wanted to set the height and then realised that every time i pump up the air suspension, the air leaks out slowly.


Today, i did a through check using soapy water etc and located the point of the leak, that is where the air compressor is.


Thank you
