OK, it appears that my "New" bag isn't holding air at all. Or something else is leaking at the right front wheel. Without the engine running I could hear air escaping from the front strut while doing the output test. Tomorrow I will do another soapy water test and figure out exactly where but I suspect that the "New" bag that I installed is a POS and is leaking.

Stay tuned..................

Oh, and Johnny, I went through the block and WAS getting air to the right front. Hopefully I have found my problem with the leak

Here are some videos from Louis on AW.





I will try to find the other one that shows the top leaking under the hood.

This is a picture showing bubbles at the top of the strut where the wires come out.

It's the airbag. The new one that is leaking.

This has cost me untold hours of diagnostics and headaches. It would be nice to actually get a NEW part that doesn't leak, but that's where I am. HUGE shoutout to Johnny for his help yesterday. Without it I would still be scratching my head. So now I am in search of a right front air-strut.

Wish me luck.

Sorry to hear that.

Check out Aerosus, $550 for the air spring, with free shipping to the USA, it may show $654 but that will change when added to cart, because of no VAT.

https://aerosus.com/bentley/continen...-or-right.html

Or $1010 for the complete new strut.
