Default How do you check Bar pressure in compressor and holding tank?
I'm trying to find the source of a leak in my air suspension. Want to see what Bar I was getting from the suspension compressor and the holding tank. How would I go about setting up a rig to test them?
Thanks

With VCD's or a VAG scanner Page 32 you can monitor the air pressure in the system. If you want to check the capability of the compressor do this: Drive at a speed of over 32 miles per hour And lift the car from level 2 to height level 3. If the lift time is 14-20 seconds then the compressor is OK. 20-30 seconds Still alive and kicking. 30+ 40 service limit.

I saw this on ebay recently, search for - Audi A6 Luftfahrwerk Kompressor Tester für Allroad Luftbalg Luftfeder Drucktest.
Is that what you were thinking of?
I have not tried one.
