| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Q1: How can I tell if the valve block is faulty rather than an air spring leaking? | A typical sign of valve block failure is one or more corners of the vehicle sitting too low and failing to raise, which is similar to air spring leak symptoms. A diagnostic method is to swap the airline from the low corner with the airline from a normal corner on the valve block. If the problem transfers to the other side, the valve block is faulty; if the problem remains on the same side, the air spring is likely leaking. |
| Q2: Should I replace the valve block at the same time as the compressor? | When the compressor fails due to wear and age, fine metallic debris from the wear process can circulate through the air system and enter the valve block, causing solenoid valves to stick or seals to become damaged. Therefore, if the compressor has been severely damaged, it is strongly recommended to replace the valve block simultaneously to prevent the new compressor from prematurely failing again due to blockages in the valve block. |
| Q3: How do I correctly connect the ports on the valve block? | This valve block features colour-coded ports - different coloured ports correspond to different connection points (compressor, each wheel air spring, accumulator tank), which helps prevent incorrect hose routing during installation. Simply match the colours to the original vehicle's lines to complete the correct connection. |
