The average cost for a Land Rover Range Rover Sport Active Suspension System Air Compressor Replacement is between $1,701 and $1,727.
While many car enthusiasts can get the job done by themselves, it is highly suggested to have your air suspension installed professionally. The average cost for an air suspension system can range from $500 to $2,000+, depending on your vehicle and location.
If the vehicle suspension will not raise over one wheel and height sensors, valves and all the other faults listed above have been ruled out then it is likely to be a split or leak in the suspension air bag. These cannot be repaired and the complete unit will need to be replaced.
A bad compressor or solenoid must be replaced, but damaged air lines can be repaired by splicing. One of the leading causes of compressor failure is air leaks (usually in the air springs or lines).
If your air suspension fails, you can likely drive to your local Advance Auto Parts, mechanic, or home, but you shouldn`t continue to daily drive with the failure. Failed air suspension parts cause negative handling characteristics and it beats up the rest of your vehicle.
The suspension has many components, and, thus, you can expect the check to be around $1,000-$5,000. However, it`s important to be aware of the more costly replacements and procedures: Shock absorber replacement: $200-$1,500. Coil spring replacement: $550-$700.
Failure of the air suspension tubing connecting the air struts or bags to the air system. Air fitting failure resulting from initial fitting or infrequent use. Compressor burn out due to air leaks in the springs or air struts from the compressor constantly engaging to maintain the proper air pressure.
If you notice that the car is “sagging” either on one side or all four wheels, it is a clear sign that your air suspension has failed. However, be advised that it is known that cars “sag” after sitting for a few months, and the system deflates the airbags for preservation.
One of the most common sources of Range Rover suspension problems is the car`s air struts. Made in part with a flexible rubber, they`re prone to cracking, rotting, or being punctured. And most of them wear out at about the same rate, so if one needs replacing, you can bet the other three will soon.
Lack of system air pressure, during the two minute duration of the inflate signal, is the most common cause of air bags not inflating. Therefore, it is recommended that the coach be started prior to retracting the jacks.
Fortunately, fixing steering and suspension problems is an easy fix. Most auto repair shops will do a diagnostics check to rule out any major problems and will tell you what needs to be fixed. However, auto repair shops also are best for major problems.
The average cost for a Land Rover Range Rover Air Bag Control Module Replacement is between $1,182 and $1,249. Labor costs are estimated between $258 and $326 while parts are priced between $923 and $923.
While the longevity of a suspension system can vary based on many factors, including driving habits or road conditions, it typically lasts for 50,000 to 100,000 miles. For many drivers, it`s time to replace the suspension system`s shocks or struts after seven or eight years of use.

Air springs normally last 80,000 to 100,000 miles. Over this time, the rubber bladder dries out, and cracks appear around the bottom piston. Compressors usually wear out because of leaky air springs. However, the computer and height sensors generally last the life of the vehicle.
Most notably, it seems to fail after about six to 10 years, leaving the SUV sagging to one side. As a result, most owners replace the air suspension with traditional coil springs once it fails. Because it`s possible to drive a Range Rover with a broken suspension, you could unknowingly buy one that needs repair.

Air suspension valve not working pump works but no air comes out of valve to struts
ANSWER : If air is getting to the valve but not coming out, odds are yes the valve is bad. Unfortunately there is no rebuilding kit for them. It most likely will have to be replaced then the entire system will need to be checked for any other leaks or faults.
Heater / A/C are not working properly. They are weak and the highest and lowest settings do not work at all. Any ideas what it could be?
ANSWER : Hi there. Check the power from the switch on each setting and to the blower. See what the voltage is at each setting. If the voltage is low or not showing, then the switch is not working and needs replaced. The switch has a resister built in it to make the blower have different voltage outputs which makes the blower have multiple speeds. However, the first setting and the last setting could have a burned element inside making only the second and third setting work. Once you have the blower working properly, if there is no heat, then check the heater control valve in the engine compartment for if the vacuum line has came off or if the valve is not working. When the engine is at operating temperature, check the temperature of the coolant hoses to the valve and after the valve. If the hoses are the same temperature and the valve is shut, then the valve is on or not working. If the temperatures are different, then the valve is off or not working. If you need further assistance with your heater and a/c not working, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
Air compressors and air suspension fail
ANSWER : This is a common fault that is found with vehicles that have air suspension. Though the compressors were most likely bad the first time, there is another problem causing them to fail. The most common would be a leak in the system or a failed air strut.
When the strut fails or a leak is present, it can cause the air compressors to never shut off as they try to compensate for the leak which causes them to fail prematurely. A qualified technician, such as one from YourMechanic, will be able to inspect your suspension system and make a proper diagnosis on the issue.
Engine and Transmission mounts have collapsed. Do they have to be replaced immediately? How much for both? TBC….
ANSWER : If the engine mounts are faulty, the drive axles will operate at the wrong angle eventually causing premature wear-out of the axles so it is important to get the mounts replaced. If you would please refer to YourMechanic’s motor mount service page you can obtain the requested price quote. Brake pads generally cannot be replaced without either resurfacing the brake rotors or replacing the rotors if they are not restorable. If you do not follow this procedure the brake pads will wear irregularly, wear out early and you may get brake pedal pulsation and vibration from rotor thickness variation. To request brake service and cost info, please use YourMechanic’s brake pad/rotor service page. With regard to your air suspension, repairing a leak is typically straightforward but, as noted, the status of the whole system, whether you need a new dryer, and so forth will have to also be determined. If you request an air suspension diagnostic the mechanic can just deal with what you have in one trip and estimate for you, on site, all the repairs that are necessary. Of course, if the simple leak repair resolves everything, there will not be a need for further estimating. If you schedule the aforeforementioned mentioned services, the responding certified mechanic will get this taken care of for you. If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to re-contact YourMechanic as we are always here to help you.
I have a 2006 dodge charger 2.7 that has been overheating and the heater is blowing out cold air, warm air, and sometimes hot air
ANSWER : Hi there:
Overheating issues can be very difficult to pinpoint without completing a physical inspection. If your heater is not blowing warm air, it’s very possible that you have a clogged heater core coolant line; which can cause engine overheating or the heater core valve is damaged; which can also cause the same situation to occur. It’s best for you to have a professional mobile mechanic come to your location and complete a car is overheating inspection so they can pinpoint the source of your issues and recommend the right repairs.
