I seem to remember quite a few ‘goodbye wallet’ comments. You can’t say you weren’t warned!

All the same, I hope you get a resolution and back OTR.

I do believe several people here did try to warn you.

Repeatedly.

“Get an [insert inexpensive used German car here] they said, It will be fun they said”

FTFY, says the guy fighting with his 14 year old BMW for hot air.

tbh, no one told you it would be fun, in fact, I think everyone might have warned you about this exact situation.

If anyone told you it would be fun, they clearly hate your guts.

I've had pretty good luck with rock auto over the years. Shipping can get pricey on larger orders.

Just think of all those people who pay extra to get fitment like this.

Let me guess — replacing air suspension with traditional? Or are you actually trying to fix the air?

OPPOsaurus WRX > Ash78, voting early and often
01/11/2016 at 10:38

i am determined to keep the air ride. otherwise its just a lifted avant

I have always loved the idea of the All Road, but yes, your troubles (and the troubles of every owner) has taught me to like it from afar.

To modify the adage about pool ownership. “It is better to have a friend with an All Road than to own one yourself.”

What is the cost to rip out the troublesome air-system and replace it with quality, conventional parts?

It could be worse. My husband has a Land Rover. Which means I'm currently driving him to his train while his baby sits dead in the driveway.

Ever consider it? I’m not giving advice, just trying to understand the owner’s perspective from a non-owner viewpoint.

the thing that pisses me off to no end is i would have had this accomplished if he had provided the correct part. i bought the car knowing it need the part and that he would provide it to me.
