Hi All,
I was browsing the forums to find a similar problem and could not 100% confirm this specific case (it is probably there, I just must have missed it). I attached the pic and a short vid. It look like there is a leak just under the brass fitting - is this something that can be tightened? Or the o-ring is shot and has to be replaced? Is it easily done? Size of the o-ring?
Thanks!

 

Hi there
if you have nitril o rings of different sizes you might have those two items sealed again. The thicker one connected to the airstrut is the retention valve. It lets air bothways in and out but keeps about 4 bar in the airstrut so it does not sag completely if loosing air or not getting any from compressor (front right before the tyre hidden behind bumper shroud / wheelwell liner ) or (to valveblock to air tank in the boot spare wheel box)
the other one is just to hold the nylon air hose.
here there is either the o ring wich does not seal Or
The olive on the lower part holding the hose and naturally sealing.
if the olive is done you will have to buy s new fitting.
For assembling do not fiddle with the olive .
screw the big one /ret valve into the airstrut then only
screw the litlle brass fitting into the retention valve 8Nm tighen just snug . Last you pushin the nylon hose strongly the pull back once.
New ones to be had at Jaguar . Maybe Arnott . For Europe/ Miessler automotive Germany.

 

Made by Voss and Bagpiping Andy has them

 

the “big one” (brass that goes into strut) does it have some (outside) thread??? Looking from top it looks like a round element? Should I use some vise grip to safely screw it out?

also, what is the disassembly so that the nylon et al does not get destroyed?
any link to online store having the o-ring kit?
thanks!

 

They are not superthight so a good long plier shoud be sufficient. Have a look there are two slids or holes to insert a tool and turn them

 

is there any procedure to be followed (order?) to disassemble the nylon connector? eg loosen (or remove completely?) the "nut" that the nylon tube goes into, then pull the nylon, then the "main" brass that goes into strut?

 

have You used straight needle nose pliers or some 90-degree, or maybe 45-degree is better?????
