Default anyone know if the brass air line fitting is

single use ? meaning cant be reused.

I got pump working and it blew air line fitting right off. it doesnt seem to tighten though flush with motor body.

arnott how-to guide says remove fitting and discard.

I can only guess I need to buy a new fitting as they are single use ????

Default Suspension System is draing my battery with ignition off

Can anyone help me with pics. I have a good battery but it drains in a few hours after ignition is turned off. A mechanic wired the fuse box so that the system only works when the ignition is on. ( fuses box calls it navigation system ) but it is the up and down system. I still do not know if that will work. I think I have a sticky relay. Can anyone tell me where the conrtol system is for the suspension system and if there is a rely and where would it be located 9 pictures if possible) I have a 2001 Audi Allroad. Replaced the front bags a year ago.

There's supposed to be a tiny brass ferrule on the all the compression fittings (as usual on plastic tubing) which compresses the tubing due to its shape. There's a picture of the thing somewhere in my past. I'll look for it. They start out as one piece but very soon become two c-shaped 2mm things. They still work as two pieces but only if you can find both!

The manual is fairly specific re dimensions of the amount of tubing to allow to project and it's surprisingly large.

Good luck,
Tom
