Hello, from time to time we get asked, "How do we lower/raise or fill/drain the Air Suspension system?
- This may be necessary if you are about to perform any Air Suspension system work and you want to drain the system of any dangerous air pressure.
- It also is handy to know this procedure when filling the system, after a repair or to test for leaks.
Please use this procedure with care, it should work on the Audi A8, Q7, A6 and the VW Touareg, Phaeton and the Bentley Continental.
Hope this helps,
