Components / Pipes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 BMW X5, 2009 BMW X5, 2008 BMW X5, and 2007 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

IMPORTANT: Maintain the highest possible standards of cleanliness around the pipe connections when dismantling and assembling components/pipes. Even the tiniest dirt particles on the pipe connections or damage to the pipes can result in leaks in the air spring system!
Do not kink, twist or crush lines.

Pipe connections must be sealed off with adhesive tape immediately after they have been removed. The adhesive tape may only be removed shortly before the connection is reinstalled.

Air spring strut / air spring:

NOTE: If a vehicle has been driven with a depressurized air spring strut/air spring, the air spring strut/air spring must always be replaced.

Check air spring strut/air spring for damage. See 37 00 ... Checking Air Springs For Damage
