Replace Reservoir (Middle) Valve Block - Range Rover Sport or LR3 

Thank you for the well described information. Your information has made it easy to decide how to move forward with the repairs to me car. Thanks!

Thanks man ... another excellent VID

As always a very informative,clear and easily understandable Video from Hazy - and saved me ££££££ on labour charges. Thanks.

These videos are very helpful and thank you. Any suggestions on why my RR won’t raise at all when we have replaced compressor , rear valve block and reservoir valve block and checked the relays? The pump runs for about 2 mins but the wheels won’t raise but then a loud rush of air releases. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Great Videos...trying to determine which valve block controls the "vehicle liens when cornering" circuit.

Who else is here trying to keep their damn RRS on the road? 😂

So I only had air pressure from one voss connector and a massive amount. No pressure release from others. Does this mean any thing. And the error code I was getting was the same as you mentioned in this video. Thanks. Great detail with no filler. Dope video👏🏾

Best tutor

Great vid thankyou 👍👍

Wow, these are the clearest and most straight forward instructions I’ve come across yet. However as per my mechanic diagnosis of leaking front air springs and a faulty compressor, I decided to do the job myself. The $4000 price tag was the deciding factor. The actual parts replacement went without a hitch, however upon staring the car, the compressor ran for quite sometime with the car raising an inch. I turned off the car to prevent damage to the née compressor. Once cooled down I tried again, but the compressor no longer runs. I bypassed the relay and the compressor is still operational. It appears the reservoir is the only thing that filled, as removing this connection from the middle air block caused a lot of air to escape. I removed the air block and solenoid and cleaned both to no avail. Would really appreciate some tips as where to go next. Cheers Craig

Great videos. My RRS goes up nice and fast however struggles to be lowered down. Any ideas?

Thanks

Had a c1a20. Installed new compressor and still setting the code. Should I look into the valve block?

Got a question. What scanner you use for your suspension faults?

What is round plastic part with wires on top of suspension and it lose and free?

c1a13-64 pressure does not decrease when venting gallery

Hello, can you tell me if a clogged reservoir valve block can cause the ride to be stiff and at other times smooth or even cause a rapid increase in pressure inside the reservoir?

Hi there My Range Rover sport won’t lower from the back. Can u advice

Hi what about that RQB000418 AIR INTAKE TUBE & FILTER It this can make any problem ? Thanks

Please help. On at start up there is a loud noise from the compressor then it stops, 5 minutes down the road I get the yellow light normal ride height only. I did lower the car and it took a good 3 minutes to pump the system up again. Sometimes the light comes on immediately but the loud noise from the compressor occurs on start up everytime. Any ideas??

hmm i think i need to clean or change my one too !! i got a new compressor now new rear valve block .... but i still get the error code c1a13-64 pressure does not decrease when venting gallery. So wonder if its again to compressor i just run 1 day ;(

I have a 2011 sc and my front right would go low for about a year then the front left. So I had it taken to DuSouth in Dallas. They replaced both front struts and the air compressor for about 3k. That's without taking care of a click sound I would here driving around parking lot. So the right started going low 2 months later so I took it in for warranty. They replaced the from right because it started leaking again.. Who knows why? But the also replaced the sway bar assembly which alone costed like 2200. 2500 after shipping. I had them replace the differential fluid since it was already there. 130k miles. Ended up spending another 3700. I've had the gas tank small evap leak fixed that was like 700 at land Rover and that was the second time I had that done. First time was in college station and didn't want to go back for warranty since I live in dfw. While in college station I also had a head gasket seal, maps sensor, and a manifold hose replaced, and tuneup with new plugs that was like 2200. Last week I dropped off a wing to get painted 200 for the wing and 315 for the paint and I'm putting it on myself. The top part of my wing flew off from bieng old and separating.. I'm about 1 more repair away from losing my sh*t. Hahaha Just remembered I replaced my coolant reservior a month ago because it kept saying it was low but wasn't using one of your videos. That one wasn't bad 40 bucks and half an hour. Anyone have any idea on how to put in new tpms sensors without taking it to land Rover?? Tired of seeing the tpms light come on

I have a 2008 RR supercharged car has 80k miles and is a good car. I left it at maximum height and disconnected the battery and measured every corner height, 24hrs later the front seemed to be completely on the bump stops and the rear did not move at all. Any tips with diagnosis appreciated! I sprayed soapy water on the front valve block and did no see any issue there.. I sprayed the front air bags as best as I could without taking tires off and did not see any issues. I did not get to spray the air inlet to the air shocks as I did it all without removing the fender liner…

Excellent video, RRS 2005, recently changed all 4 suspension. Car now drives nice and smooth, only issue is, if parking for a few days without driving, it lowers down to full access height. What do you think I’ve missed.

I think I might have messed up the order of my lines on block how can I tell if I did it right

Please can i have the part number for my rang rover sport 2016

Hazy you got excellent videos n straight to the point! So I recently had my air dryer was all rusted because I was stuck in muddy water! So when I came home I had all kinds of faults! Took the compressor out checked the dryer it was all jammed all the filters in it! So I ended up replacing the compressor (Arnott brand) paid a lot of money for it! But didn’t solve the problem! Rear end stuck in extended mode and front drop all the way! Here is the codes I’m getting on my gap tool ! C1A13-64 and c1A36-01 if you could please help me with this I would greatly appreciated it! Thanks a lot !

My left side drops and airs up kinda lower than the right side. What do you think might be my issue here?

Hi, I always hear at the rear left side of the car (RRS 2005 ) a strange noise just before to see ''default suspension.... ''What do you think about it ? Valve block or compressor ?! Thanks

Hi question, first your videos are awesome as to your video how to replace the air pump which we, me and me son done after watching your video, now after a week my suspension as gone into Extended mode when I was reversing on my drive and I can't get it done back to normal ride high any advice to this please, need help. Thank's Mike

Normally you disconnect the negative pole of the battery to avoid generating sparks when you connect it later.

Hi, you mention that the fault code C1A20 gallery filling too slow most likely is the compressor, but I'm getting the fault codes C1A13 (pressure does not decrease when venting gallery) and C1A18 (Pressure increases too rapid when filling the gallery) wouldent that suggest a faulty middle valve-block?? Thanks for a beautiful video!

Does the warning light go away when u changed it? Afraid to change it myself and the light still shows then I need to go to a garage anyways, thx

I have suspension fault codes and fluid leaking from my dynamic steering fluid reservoir after driving even though it’s closed. Could this reservoir valve block be causing this?

I have L409 C1A27-13 plz axplane

Ive gone thru so many ebay compressors. In one day they with a leak at the valve body they take a bullet. I have a question, how many PSI should be at the blue tab on the dry when full. My obd2 says theres 250lbs in system. Is there supposed to be that many at the hose/blue tab? Those always go first. Next i found a leak at the middle rear hose on that valve block. Does the valve block shut off the psi to the tank? Because at this leak my lr3 drops down after a day. Can you do a videos showing the functionality of this valve body? Like what does the switch do? What stops the psi from coming back out the tank, etc. Maybe we're the air tank check valve is at. Maybe the system is not discharging after pumping up causing too much psi at the valve block.

I have a 06 range rover l322 new compressor,air bags & height sensors 2 weeks ago truck lower all 4 tires and both rear and front valve block making a clicking sound when trying to rise but won't let up all the way up you think my valve block have fail?

I have a 2010 RRS. The suspension seems to work fine. When putting the vehicle into off-road height, it stays up overnight without issue. The problem I am having is going into access mode. I have an elderly mother and putting the vehicle into access mode really helps to get her into the car. When I select access mode, it shows a suspension fault. If I switch of the vehicle, sometimes several times, it will go into access mode. On occasion as it gets to its lowest, it then goes into a extended mode. Is it an issue with one or all of the valve blocks not evacuating the air? Many thanks.

Question for you. My 2007 Range Rover hse sport has the suspension fault normal height only •the screen on the 4x4 info shows the sensors aren’t going up or down but they are a little uneven maybe like half an inch on the screen • when starting the car the compressor works for 15 seconds or so then stops •every now and then the air suspension will work with no issues • also when driving any little bump will make the car shake like crazy it’s like being hit by a wave What do you think I should do

2009 RR sport,initial problem was sagging overnight which was solved by replacing the front valve block leaking internally after spending money on the wrong culprit which was both the front air stut,the car was ok for 5 months,then it started dropping below normal height both front &rear ,now it wont raise ,not even a single inch,my compressor is still fuctional as i swapped with my friends RR and raises the car with no issues,checked for leaks on both the resevoir and front valve block and there is none,what i have noticed is,on the front valve block,the air supply is there(wabbles the supply hose violently when disconnected),but the solenoids remain closed to both front air bags,i have checked this by disconnecting both hoses that feed the front air stuts from the front valve block,not even a single hiss of air(even with the front valve block dismatled & powered only,i expect it to pull the spool for the air strut valves),does the system need to pressrize the air reservoir fully first before sending the output signal to the valve blocks(incase the resevoir tank is leaking)how do i test the individual solenoids for the fron valve block numbered from 1 to 6 to ensure i am receiving the ourput signal from the EAS ECU,i am literally stuck ,the car is a sitting duck,can we engage.....

I have a range rover 2011. I keep getting suspension error whenever I drive It bends down from the front left side. Please assist what should I do??

What is wrong my car compressor run continue

My supsension light is on.. And I've done change the two front air springs the front valve block the middle valve block all four height sensor brakes light switch and the light is still on and I have a sag just on the front passenger side,, it doesn't sit nomarl like the other 3 sides..

if the suspension is dropping on one side only after being parked for a short time, is this the valve block most likely to be at fault?

2007 RRS HSE. Suspension fault light came on. I replaced the compressor and hear it run just fine on start up, but after about 10 or 15 seconds the fault light comes on and the compressor quits. Should the next step be to replace this valve block? The car seems lower in the front that the rear. Or should I be looking at something else? Also, Ive read that the suspension needs to be reset after compressor replacement, so is that the problem? Thanks for your videos.

What if the right side is only sagging?

My code is C1B07 -19 changed the valve but no joy

I have a 2013 RRS. Suspension is having fault issues and will not raise properly all of the sudden and I get suspension fault while driving. If I stop the vehicle and turn if off and then back on again the fault goes away, however it will come back. The vehicle will show fine in Access Hight, however, when I start to drive it eventually will automatically begin to try to raise to Normal Hight without me ever making a selection to put it to normal height. I can hear the compressor pumping but nothing happens. While I am driving and it is attempting to raise on its own to Normal Hight, (and I will even stop to try to let it do so, but it will not) and eventually I get a dash message that says that the vehicle will raise when the system cools; however, when the system cools and it again says that it is rising it is not. the rear is holding air and if I attempt to get out and push access level, the vehicle will drop in the rear, but nothing is happening that I can see up front, except, sometime I thing I see the front raise a bit when I try to get it to go to solid light on Access level. For the most part the "up arrow" is lit trying to go from Access level to Normal level but it will not go. Sometimes I also get a message that the suspension is in "Extended Mode" whatever that is, and to reset height once I have cleared an obstacle; however, I never did anything or made any type of button selection for "Extended Mode". There does not appear to be any leaking about the Air Suspension bags that I can hear; however, if is push on the rubber bags below the main portion of the strut, I can hear air, but there seem to be two factory made holes near the bottom of each rubber cover. I have taken off that dampening cover where the compressor is located and I also do not hear any air leaking from the compressor, which I did not was an AMK compressor. The ride is clearly a bit bouncy and when I get the waring red suspension fault and not to go over 30 MPH the vehicle is extremely bouncy. When that happens I pull off of the road stop the vehicle turn it off, wait a minute and then restart and the vehicle suspension fault goes away but of course the cycle just starts all over. What thoughts do you have? The compressor will run but it does get hot. When I had the dampening cover off, I noted is was very hot to the touch and while it is pumping nothing seems to be happening and I do not hear air escaping from anywhere. Is this a mid-valve issue? What should I do to trouble shoot and repair? Any help and direction you can provide me would be greatly appreciated. I do not know if I can leave my email but it is drtoney67@gmail.com if it will show up. Can I call you? Desperate! Thank you! Dennis

Hi I have a 08 sport with a suspension fault, I’ve replaced the compressor, checked the struts for leaks, replaced a bad door sensor, and no luck. My compressor won’t turn on by itself but I can bypass the relay and manually fill the bags, my toggle switch to control the EAS doesn’t illuminate either, I’ve replaced all related fuses and relays as well.. any idea what my gremlin could be?

👍👍👍👍

What would cause the compressor to run to much.Ive cleaned the transfer valve ,and checked the solenoid is working. There's no faults in the system,and I've checked all parts with soapy water for leaks

Question . Is it as simple to tear that one down the same as the rear one ? I took off the rear one cleaned it up and still sags , the suspension fault comes on as soon as i start it soo im gnna attempt at checking out the middle block

I'm getting the orange air suspension fault icon on the instrument panel but when I check the faults using my Nanocom it comes up with no faults found in all the ECU's. Weird thing is the orange icon will come up on the instrument panel while the Nanocom is searching the ECUs so it so it seems it is seeing the fault or triggering it while doing the scan. Any ideas

What issue prompted you to replace that valve block?
