▼Parts and Tools Listed Below▼
How to replace the front valve block on a range rover sport or LR3. The front valve block electronically controlled air supple to the front left and right air springs, and also allows air to equalize between the springs or vent out of the springs. Problems with the front valve block leaking can cause dropping of the front end of the vehicle when left for extended periods.
This video will walk through the function of the front valve block as well as how to access and remove/replace the valve block. A future video will detail how to clean the valve block.
Video of teardown and cleaning of valve blocks: • Valve Block Rebuild / ...
Parts required:
Replacement valve block: amzn.to/2ODUoPj
Tools required:
13mm socket or wrench (for battery terminal)
12mm wrench (for voss connectors)
Philips head screw driver (for plastic wheel cover)
Tool set I use that contains all above tools: amzn.to/46VKwU4
Works with RRS or LR3 MY 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009

Thank you so much for these videos I can't even express how thankful I am for these videos. And thank you for making them so clear and concise

Seriously appreciating all your DIY videos. Just saved 5000 dollars by watching your videos. Unlimited Monetary policies just made the stealership and Indy shops even more sketchy. It’s not about affordability it’s just pure disgust when knowing a simple job they would rip you off 4-500 percent. You made us rover owners feel confident in our cars again.

I totally agree. The National Automobile Dealers Association has released data showing that dealerships profits are 26 % on new car sales, 25% on used car sales, and 49% from the parts and service department 🙄

Hi Hazy, My issue is the front lifts and goes down while I drive for example if I lift off quick the front goes up and red light comes on, and then when I brake the front end goes down, I’ve changed Compressor as the old one failed now compressor works but I’m getting error code c1a13-64 (pressure does not decreases when venting gallery) I have also realised front left goes down a tiny bit when car sits for 2-3days.

@lucygilbert9999 2 месяца назад

Hi! Thank for your videos! They are very helpful. I'm hoping you can help with an problem we're having with our 2008 RRSS. The brief version of the saga is - soon after we bought it last year, we started having occasional then regular suspension fault issues. Stopping and restarting would re-engage the system. The error messages included suspension fault, the car will raise when cooled, the car is raising slowly, limited engine performance, and check spare tire pressure. The car sagged on the front passenger side. About 3 months ago the suspension failed and the front end wouldn't raise at all. We weren’t in a position to repair or stop driving it and one day the problem seemingly disappeared for about 2 weeks. After it failed it again functioned after a month for 10 days. A month later the back end is now really low as well. And finally, there is a hose in the very front which is just hanging. We think it's the air suspension hose. Though I know very little about RRs it seems likely that whatever the original problem was there are probably other issues resulting from the unfortunate but necessary use of the car since the suspension started failing. If you have any thoughts or suggestions I would greatly appreciate hearing them. Many thanks! Lucy

@HazyJay 2 месяца назад

If it fails on COLD days, it's likely a low voltage battery and the battery needs replacing. This will cause all sorts of errors including transmission faults, suspension faults, and engine performance faults. Worse on cold days. If it's not the battery, then it's not uncommon for the compressor to fail, this often displays "suspension fault, normal height only" shortly after starting the car that goes away with restarting. Personally, I swapped my air suspension with regular coil springs, costs around $1500 but you never have any suspension faults again.

@coachpost4571 Год назад

I’m not sure if my 07 LR3 has an issue with a air shock or the valve block. I put it in off-road height but the front suspension will not reach full height. The rear does. I pulled the fuse and measured over night. Both the front left and front right seem to be dropping about the same an 1/2 every 120 minutes or so but after about 12 hours it was about 3 inches. The rear will go up or down as normal but the front will either raise slowly or not at all. Always an error every time I start the vehicle either right away or after 30 seconds. Air shock issue, height sensor or valve block issue?

@itsgoood 3 года назад

EDIT: I've put new original valve block after finding very cheap offer on local market. It helps 100%. I also found that problably leak was on the thread. There are small metal, movable rings on the end of every thread that wedges the tube firm into the valve. Mine was cracked. Keep in mind you will not get them in repair oring kits. Pfte tape worked perfect also. Cheers. Hey, great vid. Should I put anything on the tubes nuts and screws when screwing it back to the new block? Like loctite 577? or maybe some thin ptfe sealing tape?

@HazyJay 3 года назад

PTFE tape is a reasonable choice, it wont hurt anything, but ideally the o-ring on the voss connection will be doing most of the sealing. Seems like a good idea in case of o-ring failure.

@sicilian10 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the awesome video, you've helped me so many times. :-) I have a question - what experience do you have after these years with cheap parts like this valve? Or cheap made in China compressor? Everyone on the LR forums tells me it's not worth it, it won't last into warranty and I'll have to deal with it again.

@HazyJay 10 месяцев назад

The cheap ($100-$150) compressor will definitely fail early, so it's worth getting a real compressor (Hitachi). The other parts are hit or miss, but they're so cheap you can somewhat give them a try and see what happens like with the valve blocks.

@macfarland1 2 года назад

I don't subscribe to many channels (like 3) but I'm subscribed. THX! Q'n - I have a leak F/R 2011 HSE. It's always the F/R and it never re-levels as far as I can tell. If it did, wouldn't the whole front be low in the morning? Or at least some height lost on F/L? Also noteworthy the spring is not easy to get to like the one in your vid to spray test. Should I just replace the the F/block as it seems the middle re-leveling valve does not work ? Also, any advise on checking the top part of the spring on the 2011. I remove the cap and the rubber is still not exposed or, as far as I can see, accessible. Hoping replacing the block valve will solve both.

@HazyJay 2 года назад

Thanks for the sub =), regarding your issue, if ONLY the FR wheel is lower after an entire night with the fuse IN, but the vehicle hasn't releveled, then it would make sense the middle solenoid is stuck in the closed position. You're right it's hard to access the springs to spray them with water, particularly the top because it's right up against the spring mount, so I would change the front block since it's cheaper/easier and see what happens.

@richardoakley572 Год назад

Great video. I have followed your diagnosis and pulled the fuse and overnight the front left is dropping the most but also the rear left is dropping although not as much as the front. This has confused me as based upon your explanation they are fed by different valve blocks. Am I missing something or could it be that both the front and rear blocks have gone leaky at the same time?

@HazyJay Год назад

If it's just one side it's either the left air springs have a slow leak or both solenoids, but you are correct in that they don't communicate so it can't be a single solenoid causing the front/rear left droop.

@hounddog7256 7 месяцев назад

Mate, great videos... I have a question if the front & rear valve blocks can be interchanged..? I know they have different part # but I see the after-market ones selling as both the front & rear, confusing... what's your experience or knowledge from others..? cheers.

@HazyJay 7 месяцев назад

I've never tried swapping them but they do look very similar, if you try it let us know.

@dukenukembubblegum7311 2 года назад

What would think would be the cause of both front shocks not lifting? I hear the compressor running. The back is fine, but the front isn’t lifting at all, making for a terrible ride. I haven’t sprayed it down yet, but wasn’t sure if this is something you have ever dealt with. I hope to hear back from you!

@HazyJay 2 года назад

The front solenoid could have become clogged with desssicant powder, usually if an issue is isolated to the front it's the fault of the front valve block. Given it's relatively inexpensive I think replacing it is a good first step to see if that resolved your issue 👌

HI Changed my air struts and shocks with a conversion kit. How do I get the air to stop, I don't want to burn out the compressor which I no longer need?

@HazyJay 9 месяцев назад

You have two options. Some conversion kits come with a reflash module that you need to hardwire under the driver dash that will keep all 4x4 modes and remove any warnings, this is the best option. Alternatively, just disconnect the F26 fuse under the hood and see if that solves your issue, see here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dVowjVWG6kM.html

@sabrinaduvernaywright3818 9 месяцев назад

Hi Hazy, thank you so much. Yes, removing the fuse seems to have stopped the air pump, however when I drove home it appears that it caused the power steering to tighten up. Is that normal or expected? Does that indicate that the 4-wheel drive has stopped? I'm also trying to purchase the module you mentioned for under the dashboard. Trying to locate one, can you tell me the specific name so that I can search? What's the name of your company so that we can bookmark you for future questions? Thanks Preston

@HazyJay 9 месяцев назад

It's strange that the power steering has tightened up, maybe double check the fuse and try removing the relay instead. Regarding the reflash software it actually comes with the springs from Atlantic British, you can buy it by itself but it's fairly pricy, maybe shop around: www.roverparts.com/suspension/air-suspension-parts/7982K/. I'm actually not affiliated with any company but you can comment on a video and I will see it 👍

@Chappy001 2 года назад

Great video. I think I have a similar issue. When I park my car the front suspension instantly starts slowly dropping evenly on both sides till it hits the bumpstops. I can hear short bursts of air being vented somewhere a short hiss and then a few seconds later it does it again. Is this the air coming back from the block being vented?

@HazyJay 2 года назад

It's possible it's the block, however, even if one of the front springs is leaking the vehicle will make intermittent adjustments to the entire front end (downward only) to even it out. Because of this it can be hard to find the leak. I would check this video to see how the suspension works and how to diagnose a leak: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dVowjVWG6kM.html

@Chappy001 2 года назад

@@HazyJay thanks for the reply. Yesterday I parked the car and I physically could see both sides slowly dropping at the same time this is when I heard air being vented somewhere. Am I right in saying if the front valve block is faulty and not leaking at the connections it will leak back to the compressor to be vented? Is this what I could hear? Short burst of air stops then another 5 or 6 times.

@HazyJay 2 года назад

@@Chappy001 The thing is I'm under the impression that even if the valve block leaks back to the compressor it will encounter another valve at the compressor before it vents, so it shouldn't really lower unless the car "wants" it to, e.g., 2 hours after parking and every 6 hours after that. If it's seeping out of both front springs, it may be a leaking block that's leaking to the atmosphere. Where do you hear the hissing? Overall since it's a both-front-wheel leak, you're best bet would be to change out the front valve block since it's so cheap and reasonably simple.

@Chappy001 2 года назад

@@HazyJay hard to pinpoint the hiss it's a short vent of air under a second then a pause then again for a few times. I watched the front drop from standard to the bumpstops yesterday after parking and it took 3 or mins for both sides to go down equally.

Quick question. Working on cleaning a valve block… one solenoid has a little corrosion on exterior part of shaft and exposed metal surface where orange oring would seat. Nothing that inhibits movement internally. Would that cause any connection or electrical issue on operating? Others just had a lot of white dust and seemed fine. My front is still sagging overnight after cleaning on some side.

Great videos! Extremely helpful. I was able to diagnose the suspension problem on my 08 LR3 and bought the replacement front valve block from your video link. However after installing the suspension aired up just fine but then immediately started dropping in the front, and the compressor kept running to keep refilling. I'm guessing the the block was faulty as I read several reviews on amazon stating that. I'm also a little confused about the new one as it came with new VOSS (I think that's the correct term?) connectors, new brass nuts and brass fittings. I didn't use these but just screwed the original connectors in to the new block, exactly as they were on the old one. Could this have been the problem? Thanks so much for you help!

@HazyJay Год назад

Using the original connectors should be OK. It definitely seems as though there's a leak, are you able to start the vehicle while looking at the valve block? The tire might be in the way somewhat but then you could tell what is leaking.

I've taken measurements from the ground to top of the wheel well and It seems to want to rest at a height of 32 1/4 on the passenger side and 32 1/2 driver side. After starting the compressor will kick on and raise the front to 33 but then after driving or sitting for a while, its back to 32 1/4 and 32 1/2 again. I've also checked after sitting overnight and it stays consistent at that slightly lower height. Is this a leak that I haven't found, or is it an issue with the height sensors, or does it need to be recalibrated? I'm just confused on what to do next?

@@damonearlewine9482 Honestly a quarter inch difference is about right, it also depends on how inclined the parking surface is, hence why calibration is usually done on a leveled surface (which most driveways aren't due to water drainage reasons), seems like you fixed the issue! Now if it drops 2 inches or something over the course of 2-3 days, then you may still have an issue. You can get it calibrated at the dealer if you want it perfect.

@@HazyJay OK Thank you! Good to know! I was just thinking that if the problem was fixed that it wouldn't drop at all, and the compressor wouldn't have to run. Honestly before the valve started leaking and it started sagging in the front significantly I wasn't even paying that close of attention to hearing the compressor run. So good to know that this is normal and hearing the compressor kick in for a minute isn't gonna burn it out or a sign of a bigger problem. Thanks again!

To confirm, on a UK right hand drive car, this will be on drivers side front eheel yes?

@HazyJay 2 года назад

Yes, the front right wheel (driver side)

@germancarfan360 2 года назад

Its not the drivers side on UK car as you suggested in my question, its passenger side. 🤦

@HazyJay 2 года назад

@@germancarfan360 Why is that mirrored 🤦, is the compressor also on the right (driver) in the UK?

@germancarfan360 2 года назад

@@HazyJay Well turns out it is on drivers side 🤦 but behind an aux cooling rad, Nd a mounting plate, its on the other side of those. What a nightmare to get to!!

Hi, I changed the front valve block but the front suspension won’t go up anymore. What could be te reason that the front suspension won’t go up ?

@HazyJay Год назад

Ensure all of the connections were replaced the same way they were removed, lines going to the wrong port can cause significant issues. Also ensure the wire harness is attached. If all is OK, the new valve block may be defective, in addition, the front and rear valve blocks have different part numbers, ensure you purchased the correct one.

@johnnypena5858 Год назад

@hazy Im going to check the port are connecting correctly. How can I tell which cables go to the correct port ? I appreciate your help.

@HazyJay Год назад

@@johnnypena5858 Compare to the arrangement at 3:37, the lines should direct toward their respective spring, and the compressor line is orange.
