This video shows how to fit Bagpiping Andy’s Wabco Air Suspension Compressor repair kit for the replacement of the piston ring seal in the air suspension compressor fitted in following models: Audi allroad, Audi A8, Audi Q7, Landrover Discovery 2, Jaguar XJ series, Mercedes S & C-Class, VW Touareg and Porsche Cayenne.
Air suspensions can gradually become inefficient and fail. In the case of Arnott-Wabco air compressors it is often due to wear of the piston ring. This gradual wear leads to inefficient compressor operation with symptoms including excessive noise, a reduced rate of rise or even failure to rise.
This affects all models using this Wabco compressor including:
Audi allroad C5 (2000 to 2005)
Audi Allroad C6 (2006 to 2011)
Audi A8 / D3 / 4E (2002 to 2010)
Audi Q7 (2005 to 2013)
BMW X5 / E53 (2000 to 2006)
BMW 5 Series / E39 (1997 to 2008)
BMW 7 series / E65 (2002 to 2006)
Jaguar XJ (2003 to 2010)
Land Rover Discovery 2 (1998 to 2004)
Mercedes E Class - w211 (2002 to 2009)
Mercedes S Class - w220 (1998 to 2005)
Porsche Cayenne (2002 to 2010)
Range Rover Mk 3 / L322 (2002 to 2005)
VolksWagon Touareg (2002 to 2010)
In the past replacement parts were not available leaving car owners with the rather expensive solution of replacing the whole compressor. Not only is this a waste of money but also downright stupid and a waste of natural resources. Bagpiping Andy developed the original piston ring repair kit that solves the problem and costs a fraction of a brand new compressor.

Good day Mr Andy can I get help I'm stay in South Africa Gauteng please help me
Simply brilliant, a gentlemen with a noggin, who knows how to comprehensively and thoroughly provide an understandable tutorial.First class.
Had to leave a comment I ordered this kit for my 07 Audi a8l & worked perfect! The video was spot on & it worked flawlessly! Thank you sir you were a SAVIOR!!!
I'm glad the kit worked so well for you. I will pass your comment on to Andy, who developed the repair kit.
Perfect kit. The Audi dealer is not going to install these parts, they'll try to tell you that you need a new compressor. 30 bucks in parts and a couple hours of your time. If you go to an Audi Dealer, they'll likely try to sell you a new OEM compressor (list price 1600 dollars), plus 2 to 3 hours shop time. This is not a difficult job, there are two tricky parts. The first is removing the electrical connectors, which are tucked into a tight space. The second tricky part is fighting gravity while trying to re-install the compressor, the washers that rest above the mounting flanges, and springs and spacers that go under the flanges. What I did was to get all three washers in place, hold the compressor in position (use a second set of hands or a transmission jack), then install the springs and spacers. The whole job should take less than two hours start to finish, unless you spend any time looking for dropped parts. I'm grateful to have a lift, I would not want to do this job on my back with the car on jack stands, although a younger me would not have had a problem with that.
Hi Vandal. Thanks for the information-packed reply. I think others will find it really useful.
Yeah, not a difficult job at all!
Very useful video, thank you. The kit is excellent, and using what I learned from this I replaced the piston ring in the compressor of my 2001 Allroad today and it has rejuvenated the compressor to be back like new.
FYI, for the price of a "drink" I used a local garage's car lift, and access was so good I did not need to remove the compressor from the car, but was easily able to remove the top and replace the necessary parts with the main body of the compressor still on the car. I worked slowly and methodically, but it still only took about 30 minutes.
Highly recommended!
I am glad you found the video useful and that the kit has rejuvenated your compressor. I'll pass your comments on to Bagpiping Andy at Kirbie Engineering.
Thinking about buying a older Audi, this helps eliminate one common problem cheaply!
+blkcoupequattro Yes, it's an excellent and affordable solution.
bagpipeandy, your a superstar!! Allroad owners the world over owe you in a big way.!
Thank you ertatta. I will pass your comment on to Andy Fulton (aka BagpipingAndy).
good job
Wabco Air Suspension Compressor is a well built piece of equipment. thank you for the video...
+Elbert Dugdale Thanks for the comment. Yes it is well built but like all moving parts they do wear out. The Repair kit allows owners to replace the worn piston ring without having to replace the whole compressor.
Good job. I will look at your site about buying this kit. But first I need to pull the compressor from the s500 and see what's going on in terms of leaks. Thanks for this video!!!
Thanks for your comment. The link to Andy's website is in the description below the video. The video should provide the info you need to do the job but if you have problems I know Andy does take support calls, although fewer people need support since we did the video guide. If you need to call Andy his contact details are at the bottom of his home page. Good luck and Happy New Year.
This is proper tutoring. Thanks
Glad you think so!
The only info that I need is the orientational pressure that this compressor can produce. Thank you for the info!
Top Video explaining things to Air Suspension Compressor used at AIRmatic. May I need this repair kit after I heard some noise and shaking from the compressor. It stopped, but still a warning signal is shown. Maybe some little leakage?
Very good explanation. And I love that Scottish accent of yours! ;-)
+swissbine Thank you very much.
Are you from Scotland?
Thank you, now that I have a new pump i will refurb my original for later use.
I hope it goes well.
I might do it too :)
Many thanx for your excellent video !!
Really great video that helped.
So the part you replace what does that actually do and what causes it to go bad.
redbaron2448 I assume it’s wear.
Hi. Nice movie and professional job. Why you didn't change a dryer filter?
hello i have E class with airmatic system but its stuck in the rised position and with a workshop visit in the dashboard. i have checkt it and the diagnos computer seas its a PRESSURE REALESE VALVE WITH A9/1Y1 CODE. do i need to replace this valve only or the houle compressor
Hi. Sorry to hear you're having problems with your E Class. Please contact Andy Fulton direct, his phone number is +44 (0)7767838330 or you can email on info@bagpipingandy.com
I have a right "DRAIN VALVE" error on this Wabco system. Where exactly is this and how do I fix this ?
Great 👍🏼 congratulations, thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Super video Andy! Do you have the air dryer/filter kit as well?
Hello, is it possible to buy only conectors on the cabels, one Connector burned
The piston ring in wabco 4g0616005c is one solid ring, not like this clip. How is that removed?
super video, very, very clear info, well presented.
I'm glad you liked it.
Hi pal how much it for piston compressor repair kit for Audi q7 2008
Hello, I would like to know where you bought this clip for the piston and these rubbers for the compressor
received my kit today. one question though, what's the big round o-ring for? I saw in this video that Andy only used the shaped o-ring gasket and piston ring.
The kit comes with two seals but you only need to use the o-ring that fits your style of compressor.
Good morning. Can you write me link how can buy ripair kit.thank you
I removed the Wabco Continental ZSB suspension compressor on my 2005 Audi Allroad. I have a hard and steady 01397 code failure indicating the N111 solenoid was bad. I didn't see any bad wiring anywhere, so I removed the compressor.
How do I bench check this compressor to confirm it's bad? It seemed to be working fine before it failed suddenly as I was driving it. Over a week or so it sunk down evenly to the lowest stops on all fours wheels.
The numbers after Wabco are: 001 0424. Does this mean it was made on 2004?
Thanks!

Hello, I am most probably going to buy the kit for my 2008/05 allroad, shipment to Germany. Just one question which puzzles me: you say there is no lubrication necessary. This somehow makes me think the wear of the seal is exactly because there is no lubrication whatsoever, as the proper type of oil/grease would greatly increase the life span. Of course anything petrol-based is probably ill-advised as they invite fine dust/muck. But what about low-adhesion lubricants, like something silicone-based? Like the stuff they sell for door rubbers during the winter? I mean buying a 20 or 30 pound part is not that much, but once you imagine its lifespan could be increased easily, just doesn't make sense. Thank you.
Ahh ok, see your e-mail. Will write once the buying gets closer. Thanks again.
From a conversation I had with Andy I think the part is designed not to be lubricated. The seal is manufactured from a material that has very low friction. If you visit Andy's website I think he gives more details there.
Good explain thank you
I have a 2014 Q7 and my compressor kit got replaced due to some fault , mainly due to the noise which it started while lifting the suspension of the vehicle from lower levels. The Audi guys replaced with new two solenoid compressor and the noise is still coming while lifting. He even showed other q7 they are quiet a bit. The guy saying "as u got two solenoid(the latest one) with extra valves its making little more noise. No need to worry about that". He replaced that through warranty and so I want confirm from u, that while lifting the vehicle from dynamic mode, does the compressor make sound,apart from the engine noise? Please observe precisely, from q7 or the vehicle u have and let me know please, just now I got it, that's why. He even explained well and showed me the old compressor with my chasis number. So, can u clear my doubt please?
Hi NIshant. Please contact Andy directly, His website is www.bagpipingandy.com/compressor.html and you should find his email address and other contact details.
Hi, do youz knpow where i can get the output tube including the terminal?mine is brken and it seems not to be a regular spare part.
Would it be wise to put ZX1 friction modifier to the surfaces?
Do you also do a kit to refurbish the air struts?
The best thing to do is contact Andy Fulton direct here info@bagpipingandy.com
16 BAR PREASSURE ?? Are u really sure this little compressor produces over 220 psi?
excellent video
Are you going to offer a new compressor/cylinder head for these air pumps? I replaced the piston ring, works really good again 20 seconds to lift to each of the 4 positions, but I noticed the cylinder bore was worn pretty good, I used a small piece of 400 grit wet dry to polish one spot on the bore. Pretty sure that's is a Teflon based coating on the cylinder bore.
+blkcoupequattro As far as I am aware,Andy Fulton (aka BagpipingAndy) is only going to be making the compressor repair kit. He hasn't told me about any plans to also offer cylinder heads.

Hi,
Does the piston ring fit to an not original compressor also?
Thanx
If the compressor is 7-10 years old this won't fix it , you'll find that the motor starts to fragment inside , remove the motor head bolts to see inside , if the metal plates on the rotor or "iron core" are marked or dented then this is a sign its knackered I'm afraid 😨, you'll still get error codes as the amps in the motor will be all over the place you may even find the car stats with other electrical malfunctions as this problem will cause them, better off just changing the whole compressor.
Are you rings are made of the same material as the oryginal, or Teflon?
+Paweł Nieznany
If you go to Andy's website that is shown in the video you will find the details you are looking for. Andy has a page that explains how the piston rings are made.
Great vid Andy, and I see you're on a certain 'auction' site too 👍🏻 Quick question Andy if I may. I have replaced the suspension air bags on my BMW f11. I raise the car wheels off the floor and the air bags inflate and become rigid/hard... but when I lower the car onto the floor the rear drops all the way down and the air in the bags is pushed out! Is this a compressor issue? As I noticed a comment you made where a pipe on the compressor is there to allow air to escape. Many thanks.
HI Steven, If you conbtact Andy through his website, www.bagpipingandy.com, I'm sure he will answer you question.
Kind regards,
Tosh
Tosh Lubek thanks tosh 👍🏻
I have a 2016 C Class and they changed the compressor for the AirMatic suspension. A rare case for a recent car, I'm told.
Dashboard displayed 'malfunction'. My car never sagged, nor did I get the message 'car too low'. All fixed.
Can I expect that car is level or should I be concerned the distribution of air pressure is not equal to all 4 struts? Anything I should be concerned about? Thanks.
Hi Angus. Andy Fulton, who presents the video and makes the repair kits, is far more qualified to answer your question than I (I made the video and help to answer what I can). If you contact Andy through his website I'm sure he'll give a definitive answer, ans certainly a better one than I can. Go to www.bagpipingandy.com/compressor.html and you should find his email address (info@bagpipingandy.com) and mobile number.

Hi any xhance to buy those collars air hose?
Hey Andy,
What about the desiccant ?how that should be ?
Does the fitting that connects the air output hose to the compressor need to be replaced when refitting the compressor to the car, or can the old one be reused?
When we shot the video Andy only replaced the piston ring and did not mention anything about replacing the air output hose. Therefore I assume you just need to replace the piston ring..
What about that vane in top of piston ? What if is opened ? Need some glue is can't be fixed ? at 3:20
i need a the wiringdiagram for the connector from the valveblock on the compressor (10 pins) ,peugeot expert or citroen jumpy 2013....mechanicly its oke but i have a problem with the relieve valve i think……….

I'm glad you think the video is useful. I was speaking to Andy recently and he told me buyers do seem to appreciate having access the step-by- step video guide.
I replaced the two rings earlier today and I am getting the fault worse than ever now. any suggestions?
+klintous If that is the case you can call Andy Fulton to double check your fitting or investigate whether the fault is due to another issue. You will find both Andy's phone number and email address at the bottom of the home page of his website bagpipingandy.com/
+Tosh Lubek Thank you for the quick reply. I am going to double check and make sure that the mechanic connected everything myself first. I am hoping it is something simple because it is not raising at all now. Before, I would only have issues in the extreme cold. I only get the fault about five minutes after starting my car...
+klintous I hope your double checking corrects the problem, otherwise Andy is a very knowledgeable guy so a call to him should be able to help you.

Tell me please, what material is made with the piston ring on AIR
Hi, the information you require is available on the bagpipingandy website. The website url is available in the description of this video.
Tosh Lubek Thank you content found, and what the inner and outer diameter of the ring if it is not a secret of course))
I think that is likely to be confidential information since I know Bagpiping Andy took a lot of time getting it perfect.
Tosh Lubek Understand, and tell whether it is possible to send Belarus your material for the manufacture of piston rings pneumocompressor what price PTFE
I will Private Message you.
Just replace ring piston😮😮😮😮
Why they say change new one.oh my god
I never received the items from "Bagpipingandy", I'm sorry to say but I think think you are fake.
Hi Takudzwa. Andy is certainly not a fake. He only sells through ebay so when you bought one of his kits it must have been through ebay. If you follow the link below you will see ebay's advice to buyers who have not received any bought items. Ultimately you can open a dispute on ebay if you do not receive the goods and the seller does not respond. ebay also offer a money back guarantee if the issue is not resolved. Personally I would check the details on the listing as to delivery times and if it has been more than 10 days after the estimated delivery date then contact Andy through ebay/PayPal.
