Hi Can any one HELP? the suspension stopped working so my Q7, My DIY husband took out the compressor reconditioned it and it is now unseized, with a new piston ring.
Now it is all back in the car the relay is moving but there is no power to either of the large wires. can anyone advise us where we could find the fuse for this. We have searched the car.

Did you read the manual as to the fuse location?

Wondering if there was an answer to this? My 2007 Q7 suspension pump would not turn off when the car was off. It finally burnt itself out as I wasn't able to find the fuses in time to stop it. I replaced the pump, relay, and thermosensor with a brand new unit. When I turn on the car, nothing happens and my yellow suspension light blinks. I can hear the relay clicking on, but nothing. I stuck a volt meter on the power plug that goes to the unit and there is no power to the line when the relay clicks on.

Any thoughts on this? The fuses seem to be okay, but I only found a 5 and 15 fuses. I'd expect at least a 40amp fuse. Am I missing one?

Thanks!

I suspect there are some of the flat link type 40a fuses either on top of the battery housing - which means tipping the seat forward, or in the fuse box in the plenum chamber on the left hand side - assuming it's the same for LHD cars!

This is how they look installed and it's very difficult to see if one has failed - it may look like a hair-line crack across the centre part -

Have you cleared the fault code with vcds as it may just be that it has shut it into a safety mode so to speak?

No havnt cleared anything have not even plugged vag into It yet so I will give it a go do you know the location of the main fuse just so I can check it, I can hear relay under dash kicking in I can hear valve block clicking away just no power to motor I can't see the control module being capable of handling such hi amps if it was shut down I would say it would shut down the trigger wire to the relay which it has not hence I thought it maybe the main fuse
