Range Rover Sport (L494) air suspension questions
What is the most common air suspension problem on Land Rovers?
Air leaks are the root of most failures. A leak from an air spring, air line or valve block makes the compressor run much more than it should, until the compressor wears out or overheats. When a compressor fails, find and fix the leak as well, or the new compressor will go the same way.
Why does my Discovery or Range Rover drop overnight?
A corner that sinks while parked usually has a leak in its air spring, air line or the valve block. If the whole vehicle drops evenly, the valve block or a common line is more likely. Spraying soapy water on the springs and fittings with the vehicle raised can reveal where the leak is.
