Air Suspension Calibration

[TheKris79]

Hi All, i have a question related with the air suspension settings - on the Volvo repair procedures for the V90, when it comes to replacing the air springs for those with air suspension, it mentions a section where before removing the springs you must deflate them using VIDA.

Is this something that can be done with OrBit as well?

Just bumping this question if anyone knows the answer

Hello,

There is nothing really that needs to be done additionally than clicking on the center menu at the "locking & suspension" section the suspension to service mode.

In the last 2 days I have now done overhaul to my XC90 air compressor(changed the decissant/dryer granules), changed the rear shock absorbers and front air struts. All was done by only clicking the center for service or deactivated mode and done. Obvioisly between each phase I let the car to fill the system again to not have it completely empty. Each unit is filled separately via the block valve so it will only empty that section if you change something and therefore very limited amount of air is running out
With compressor removal it will empty the tanks so that is a bit more air coming oit and when it starts to refill it will take aroind 4 compressor runs before the system is full again.

With the suspension part you just have to bear in mind that once you are done with the work and lowering the car just dont lower it all the way before you start the car and take the tick off from service mode. The system will automatically fill the bellow and then gradually lower completely.

At least mine is now all done and perfectly smooth ride again (I had quite a bit of noise coming from passenger side front). Now I will soon also chang the rear bags and the complete system is then almost new. Here in Sweden it is cheap to buy used parts which have only 100km driven so this is what I am usually doing as then I have OEM pieces.
