VB Air Suspension Servicing

[jezport]

I've recently had a conversation with the owner of the company which fitted my VB 4C full air suspension. He informed me that it's advised to have the system serviced every 12 months after it's been in for 18 months. There are a number of parts that are classed as service parts. I was of the opinion it didn't need regular servicing.

Ours was fitted from a company in Coventry and we was told that it was a "Look see" and replace if necessary should there be any signs of wear or tear as regards servicing. Obviously there are parts that will need a look now and again. Common sense is the term used i think? Don't be pushed into paying a bill for something you really do not need to have done .

I was informed that items such as level switches need cleaning to reduce the chance of issues. If they fail or are intermittent they will allow extra pressure from the compressor as it thinks they are low. Also there are drying granules in the air tank that need checking for moisture.
I'm not going by hearsay, I'm going on advice from the horses mouth.

Never heard of that I get any compressor parts from Savage 4x4 Derbyshire Viair stockists, I have only ever needed a pressure switch.

Sometimes you are lucky, but how do you know the level switches are stopping the air at the correct pressure? A dodgy one can allow a lot more air in.
