Hi All, 2005 LR3 SE V8.
We are new to the LR3, so far we LOVE IT.
Sorry to be the guy whose first post is a "please help with problem solving" We are moving to Miami and driving cross country and we want to get this issue squared away before we start the trek in 2.5 weeks, any help is greatly appreciated.
now on to the issue...
We have been experiencing a little bit of pip squeak coming from the front right when driving over bumps. Today I think I figured out it is air suspension related.
When jacking up the rear for brake work, I noticed the same squeak and now a bit more of a squeal coming from the front right. When jacking up the front right for a bit more clearance during an oil change, Bezowww! i get this ear piercing squeal of a noise...
LR3 Air Suspension Problem? - YouTube
In the video, i pause jacking when it starts squealing, the tire "raises" then i resume jacking with no further noise (I suppose all the air has leaked out). When i set the LR3 back down the front end is down to access height or below, probably all the way down. The back is still up pretty high. When the LR3 is started, it will return slowly to whatever height it was in (in this case off-road) and stays there.
as far as i can tell, there are no other air suspension problems, sits over night OK, raises and lowers ok, drives ok. After the squeal it did communicate... "air suspension raising slowly" and occurring previously on really bumpy roads we get an air suspension fault with no codes to read in the system, just the little info screen and yellow idiot light (scanning with 4Dcan). The info fault and idiot light goes away after restart.
It seems strange to me that a suspected air leak only presents on a bump or when jacking up. (I am new to air)
Front valve block a suspect? Strut? can't be an air line or fitting, it would leak all the time?
thanks for any help.
