Air Spring Damper, Filling
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
‹› Adapter (T10157/1)
‹› Air suspension strut charger (VAS 6231)
‹› Steel gas cylinder filled with Argon or Corgon, not depicted
‹› Air spring shock absorbers are supplied as replacement parts with a minimum pressure. By sitting in storage for extended periods this pressure
can diminish (just like a tire). This minimum pressure must be checked and if necessary restored by recharging before air spring shock absorber is
removed from the packaging. If air spring shock absorber is removed from the packaging without this checking/recharging, this may cause
indentations or kinks to form in the dust boot before it reaches its normal shape. These indentations lead to preliminary damage and may lead to
premature failure.
