shumarker Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Check pump if working by jumping the relay cable. It has a thermal switch that cuts it off at certain temp and when that switch is bad it stalls the pump. Go for Arnott parts for air suspension system they last forever.

buchukoy Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 @shumarkerDo you know where to buy Arnott parts locally? My car's suspension is Leaking and the compressor is always at work just to keep the car balanced, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the compressor goes bad as well...

shumarker Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 you can buy directly from their website they charge 80-90 USD extra for international shipping to UAE. I don't know anyone here selling Arnott, secondly they do provide lifetime warranty for their products in US and EU, so I assume it will def last much longer than any OEM shit that cost fortune here. I advise same to my colleague who drive BMW X5 and since last three years he has not complained of ballons that he use to change every 15-18 months. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchukoy Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Thanks for the swift response. Did your friend pay any tax or custom duties bringing the parts here? I already contacted them via email (Arnott) and I was surprise for the quick response (less than an hour!) They quoted me for the parts I asked but mentioned the custom duties, hence my question above. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post shumarker Posted February 25, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Car spare parts import duty and taxes is generally charged at 5%, but the calculations are bit more complex by adding the cost of goods + shipping cost + insurance cost.
