F01 Air Solenoid Valve Air Suspension Compressor Pump 37206789450 Compatible with BMW 7 F02 F04 F07 5(F11 F11N) F15 F16 Air Suspension Air Ride Pump Compressor Repair Kit

I replaced the air bags with Arnott springs and the chassis warning fault persisted. The car was riding too high not letting air out. I was quoted £1400 for a new compressor so I thought I'd give this a go for £21. Stripped the compressor and it was soaking inside. I dried the desicant balls and replaced this valve and so far so good it's riding perfectly with no faults! Extremely easy fit and great value for money. It's worth a punt for the price hopefully it saves you all some money.

Although this is promoted as suitable for Mercedes and Audi, it's compatible with BMW 520d (2010) touring as well. After ordering one which was designated for BMW, it didn't fit, so I did a search for others and this one popped up. It looked identical to the one I'd removed from my compressor, and lo and behold it was. Fitted today and all working absolutely fine.

For just over £20 and about an hour of my time I have saved a huge bill from the BMW main dealer. They intended to replace the entire. Compressor unit for my air suspension and wanted over £3000 to do it. They clearly know that the whole compressor doesn’t need replacing, but if every tenth customer says yes, instead of giving them a rapid palm-reading they still make a fortune. I don’t know how long this little gadget will last but a new one every week would be cheaper than what BMW want. Easy to fit and cheap - what more could I want?

Worked a treat, discharge valve not available from BMW, would need to buy a pump assembly at great cost. Car needs to be driven a short distance before suspension settled at correct height.

Still working months later

My advice is to remove the solenoid on your compressor first and check whether it matches this one. My compressor is an Aerosus one. After I removed the compressor and cleaned it down, I discovered that this solenoid would not physically fit the compressor, because the black plastic insert part is too long and therefore will not allow it to be pushed all the way home. This one also has the red rubber seal visible and wrapped around outside that plastic as you see in the ad's photo. On my old solenoid, this plastic section is shorter and the rubber seal is hidden between the solenoid metal and the black plastic insert. The tip is also flat on my old one. This manufacturer seems to have ones like my old one but they are being advertised as being for Mercedes. Again - check your existing solenoid first to make sure it is a match physically.

Mixed reviews for this. It got me out of a pickle whereby the back air suspension dropped and would have cost £££ with bmw (as they don’t sell it separately only with the compressor). The only issue is that periodically it will still trigger the warning in the dash several times a week.

This was very easy to swap out, just removed the compressor from the car, dismantled the old compressor, installed this and put everything back together. Used ISTA to re-charge the system before lowering the car back off the jack and now it's working 100%. Symptoms before were suspension dropping fully onto the bump stops and when I eventually got it aired up it was very bouncy as I was driving.

Ich habe dieses Ersatzteil für meinen F11 gekauft. Es hat super gepasst, wirkt wertig und verrichtet seinen Job.

Fungerar som den ska. Vart bara tvungen att plocka isär kompressorn för att kunna byta ut den defekta.
