Default Air Suspension Compressor Help! Parts?

Hey,

Rented a garage bay to replace my suspension air compressor and the front shocks. All was good, got the compressor out....

Go to pull of the little plastic tank and hose from the old unit to attach it to the new unit and bang, the little plastic connector attached to one of the rubber hoses snapped right where the right angle is.

Now what???? I cant find that little tank and tube assembly anywhere...

Ive been searching for an hour... can someone please help!?!?!

Thanks!

The new or used pumps come as a unit, you cannot purchase the parts individually. I might have the tank and tube assy in the shop, I purchased 2 air pumps as spares back in 2011. Will have to wait till the morning to check on it.

Thanks, I'd appreciate it.

I can't believe they don't sell that part separately. I ordered an air ride compressor from Arnott industries and they tell you to just pop the one off the old one and attach it to the new... seems so easy, in theory....

I can't PM you..... maybe because of my permissions.

Did you have a chance to check on that part?

Thanks.

Sorry, I spent the past 2 days looking for the 2nd pump, the 1st pump does not have any connecters or tubes on it, just the power connector.

Thanks for checking... it's more than I could have asked.

Appreciate it.

AIR PIPE AIRMATIC Suspension Compressor Mercedes W211 W219 W220 S E Class CLS | eBay

Air Suspension Compressor PUMP Filter Audi A6 Allroad C5 B4 Mercedes W220 | eBay
