FAQs

What is the purpose of an air suspension levelling valve?

A levelling valve automatically adjusts the air pressure in the air springs to maintain a consistent vehicle ride height, regardless of load.

What are the thread sizes for this Febi Bilstein valve?

This valve features internal thread sizes of M12 x 1.5 and M16 x 1.5.

Can I install this valve myself?

Installation should be performed by a competent individual or qualified mechanic due to the complexity of air suspension systems and the need for specialized tools and knowledge.

How do I know if this valve is compatible with my car?

You must verify the part number and specifications against your vehicle's requirements, typically found in the owner's manual or by consulting a professional mechanic.

What happens if the levelling valve fails?

Failure can result in the vehicle sagging, uneven ride height, improper handling, and potential damage to other suspension components.

Does this valve come with installation instructions?

Products like this are usually supplied without fitting instructions. It is expected that the installer has the necessary technical knowledge.

Can this valve be used for custom air suspension modifications?

No, this product is designed to be used as originally intended and should not be modified for purposes other than its original design specifications.

Troubleshooting

Vehicle not levelling correctly (too high or too low)

Check for air leaks in the suspension lines or air springs. Ensure the levelling valve is correctly installed and functioning, and that the control sensors are properly calibrated.

Air suspension system losing pressure overnight

Inspect all air lines, connections, and the air springs themselves for leaks. The levelling valve might be faulty if it's not sealing properly internally.

Noise from the air suspension system

Listen for hissing sounds that could indicate an air leak. If the noise is related to the compressor, check its operation and the air reservoir.

Warning light on the dashboard related to suspension

Scan the vehicle's diagnostic codes for specific error messages. This can often pinpoint whether the issue lies with the levelling valve, compressor, sensors, or control module.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: Before purchasing, it is crucial to verify that this specific levelling valve (Part Number 103489) is compatible with your vehicle's make, model, and year. Consult your vehicle's service manual or a qualified mechanic to confirm the correct part number for your air suspension system.

Setup: Installation of an air suspension levelling valve should only be performed by a trained and competent individual. The process typically involves disconnecting the existing valve, ensuring no air is lost from the system, and securely connecting the new valve using the appropriate internal thread sizes (M12 x 1.5 and M16 x 1.5). Proper torque specifications should be followed during installation.

Care: As a sealed component within the air suspension system, the levelling valve requires minimal direct user care. However, it is essential to ensure that the associated air lines are free from kinks or damage and that the air suspension system is regularly inspected for leaks. Keeping the surrounding areas clean can help prevent debris from interfering with the valve's operation.
