Thanks for taking the time and sharing this video. Well detailed and So helpful.

Great video, it helped alot. 😊👍🏽

Great video, thanks man

Nice video, well done.

Help a lot. Thank you

According to the Arnott instructions, you're not suppose to remove the compression fittings! Just push in the air line until seated. Pull on it to verify

I did the same repair a month ago and they even send an instruction page that shows you that detail with photos. Sorry to say that seal is probably gonna leak on day 1. I wanna see a followup.

You're right about Arnott giving that specific instruction to not remove the fitting and we're supposed to push the air line in. But, the problem is that the line comes right out when you tug on it slightly after pushing it in all the way. I'm going through the same problem with my f85 air springs. After an hour of trying to get the air line to seat properly and not pull out, I've opened the fitting and did the same process the guy in the vid did. Hopefully I don't have any leak issues! 🙏🙏

not sure why that happened, worked well for me. Pushed it far enough that when i tugged on it slightly it was still inside and fully seated. You can obviously pull in out with enough force but the key is only to tug enough to know its fully in, not to test that it wont come out. Im guessing theres some kind of internal seal system that make it air tight from inside. kinda like the copper O-ring that comes off with the stock line. I think those fully engage when the system fully pressurizes.

Great, thanks your video

Thank you well done

really good job, please advise me, I found that the two rear suspension drop 2 times in 1 month, I just pulled the fuse(110) and put it again and the bag returned full of air and the rear suspenion back with full hieght, so is it from the 2bags or something make the bags drops or what ?

Nice!

How long would you say this process takes to change out?

Great video. Isn’t the Arnott considered as OE part? We still need to replace both at the same time?

Hi mate, great video. Unfortunately with my x5 I may have driven the car few month without noticing the leak. Is that something bad for the car?

@prasannabandara7104 - it all depends how much the air compressor was working all that time, I would worry for the air compressor to go out. I would recommend changing as soon as you have time to preserve the air compressor for the long term.

Hi, my 2016 bmw x5 f15 has an intemitent sag, only sagged twice in two days and been fine for a week or so, what could cause this??

You need new air boots installed. Get the Arnott, don't buy the genuine BMW. Arnott boots are considered an upgrade as it exceeds OE quality and comes with lifetime warranty. Arnott uses Continental Contitech rubbers. These Conti rubber materials are extremely high endurance, it is used on Continental tires and are far superior than what BMW uses.

Boot leaking causing pump to overwork eventually you'll need a pump if not replaced

Hi Thanks for your Video, i have mine to do but have a question if anyone can help. If you remove the fuse guessing that kills power to pump? Can you not drill the old Air Bag to deflate as this is no longer any good, this would then save you remove panels to reveal compressor. Is this acceptable? Look forward to all suggestions.Thanks in Advance.

@snoopy not sure if the issue is with sensor or something else. My thought was maybe sensor leveler is acting up or jammed. Otherwise it should rise normally and stay there unless you are parked in uneven surface

If they are going to be replace why can't you just remove the fuse to the air compressor and pierce both air bags to deflate them rather than doing everything else?

Great. Thanks for reply. I wanted to confirm. So did you actually have to unscrew the fitting from the new bag to install it on the air line or would it be just okay to push it in and be done? The set I got says do not remove the connection. arnottinfo.com/manuals/A-2642.pdf

@SheziMotorsport

T Ventz - correct new bag has it on and you remove it from there and attach it to hose and fit it there and tighten the screw. But that fitting be very carefully not to bend to much or it will break and you will be out of luck. If your old one is intact keep it as a backup when you replace them. That's odd bc then how would you fit it on there, I would imagine higher chance of breakage.
