Just replaced both rear air springs and still not rising
I just replaced my rear air springs using this thread:http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...nt-x5-e70.html I have to say it was pretty easy. The problem is that the rear of my car is still not rising. I can hear the compressor trying to push air into it, but its not going up. After a few minutes, it stops and i get the self level error on my dash. What could it be? I think i hear a little hissing noise around the passenger rear tire? This started a few months back, my right rear would sag and would rise after i started it. Then a two weeks ago both sides would drop and then rise. This week, it just stayed dropped and wouldnt rise. I figured it was bad airbags and i replaced them... Hopefully, someone can help me solve this mystery. |

I would start with the air supply lines. If they are pinched, they will not allow the bag to inflate properly. The computer will stop trying to fill the bag when it senses a certain level of pressure.
Please note, I have not done the air bags on an E70; but, have done them on a few Mercedes. If you bought the bags from Arnott, they are usually very helpful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You could try a few times doing that,it may take a lot of pumping to lift the car off the ground.The pump stops in a few minutes because of the thermal protection,but it should start pumping again after a few minutes rest and cycling the ignition.

Did you check to make sure both airlines are fully engaged at the top of the bags? It sounds like you are not getting any pressure build up.

The compressor could have stopped working. That was what happened to my 4.8i. About $1000 for the part and 15 minutes of DIY time.
