I was working on a e61 with the same problems - thank you so much! I checked my new sensor and replaced it again, thanks to your video because otherwise I won’t be thinking of that! 🙌🏻
Great video! Really enjoyed watching it and the detail you went into. I have an issue with my X5 F15 rear air suspension and this has given me another fault area to check.
Great video as always 👍🏼 I see that you keep some used parts at your shop. May I ask how do you differentiate the parts that might be useful for future repairs, and those that can go straight to scrap/disposal? Thank you, greetings from France 🙏🏻
Hi, well, the parts I have in the garage come from dismantled cars , they are not parts that I have replaced, everything I take down from the cars as a defective I throw them away, I only keep the modules because I still recover parts from them when I make repairs at the component level on boards !
2011 BMW 740li here. Left sode drops over 15 minutes. Replaced left air strut, no fix. Replaced compressor (solenoid too). My scan tool reads measuments from the ride height sensors, but does read 0 volts. Not sure what that means...but after replacing strut and compressor, no changes. Still drops after 10 minutes. Any thoughts?? Thank you!
I had both air bags changed on the rear of my 2011 X5 BMW Xdrive35i, and after a couple of months a had no issues, until now, that the Level Suspension Malfunction error popped in the screen again, and I'm at a loss, because I don't know if could be a sensor at this point. The car still drives normal.
How I can test the sensor because one side of my car is lower I change the air bags but still same thing and little by little goes down what do you think maybe the valve witch is located close to the suspension air compressor
Thanks for this. Great video and I did the job today. Changed both sides. My arms were seized and one bad sensor. The arms need some lub now and again I would say.
My f15 x5 is not switching off air compressor after new air springs installed, when I unplug the compressor it sits on its right ride hight and stays there no leaks 🤔🤔🤔
Hello! from calibration probably 1 or 2 cm but don't do that leave the car like was build ! when you mess with the car height you mess the stability control of the car!
I have a BMW 525D Xdrive F11 2012. every time I switch on the ignition the dynamic damping control failure pops up. Corner ability restricted. During driving the error pops up many times. I took off my wheels. unscrew the screw holding the levele sensor. Lubricate with WD40 rust remover on all moving parts. I use a lot off WD40 silicone on the ball joints. Move the ball joints many time(over 100) till it is moving freely. I have driven over one week without any error. My two rear levels sensors was stuck with rust. The sensor can not move up and down. After lubricating them. The sensors work fine. No more error. After wards I use my autophix S910 ODBII tool to delete all error messages.
Great video. I have same issue but on the right side. I had both air suspension bags changed and now i have a erro code 5F8F right level sensor. I haven't replace the sensor yet. Could you helping me finding the part? I'm struggling
Hi great info, I have just removed the air bag suspension and replaced with Arnotts coil spring. Im getting the levelling error sometimes like this car. Do you know if I can disconnect the ride level sensor permanently. Thanks for all you vids.
My wire harness to the sensor is exposed and I think the wires are the reason I am having this issue. I cant find the wire harness anywhere, can anyone help me with this?
Hello, My only advice is to find someone who can properly diagnose the car, with advice and opinions you cannot repair a car. It can be a lot of causes.
Salut Ovidiu! La un x5 e70 facelift cu perne pe spate trebuie facut ceva dacă schimbă roțile la vulcanizare si îmi ridica mașina pe cric?câte o roata,pe rând Mulțumesc Ovidiu
Salut . in mod normal va trebui facuta o reclalibrare a suspensiei... dar la generatiile vechi (E series) nu e o problema asa de mare si e posibil sa nu se intample nimic! dar daca masina ramane intr-o parte va trebui recalibrata.
i have the same problem but when i bought the car does not have the air suspension it came with the spring shock but i can get to erease that code any help?
Hello, if the car was modified from air suspension to classic, then the car need to be coded accordingly, need to remove the option from FA and code the affected modules, if you don't know how to do it , no panic, you need to find someone who knows too code BMW in your area 😉 😀
hi i have x5 and passenger side air pad was sagged after changing both of them the height is higher than normal. my mechanic is unable find the cause. could you please suggest according to your experience.
My left side doesnt adjust, i see the right side go up and down and hear the compressor pump and release air... Same result even if i swap over the sensors... Im out of ideas, help
Hi, 2011 bmw 740li, Rear driver bag sagging, other 3 raises & lowers I replaced a new air ride strut Then a new air compressor Still won’t raise, all 3 works What is the issue/solution?? Tks
Have x5m e70 just randomly get level malfunction error after lifted left front wheel on the jack for oil change after that now once in a week after car stays for long period of time like 20 hours or so I had that message I hear compressor for couple minutes and it’s shuts off if I get message just turning key off and restarted vehicle compressor forks longer and all is ok have no idea whats went wrong thanks for reading

Thanks for the video! But my e70 is not balance, right side is sagging.
Hi mate, do you work out your arms ? Biceps
What spray you used?
He bro good day just asking how you get a wiring diagram belt in your diagnostic computer thanks…
great video as ever
Hey, thanks 😊 !
very nice video again, i am so happy to see person who work so clear , good luck man you are top !!! greetings from Bulgaria
Thank you! Cheers!
@@MOvidiu forza Costi , cheers
@@MOvidiumy guy what diagnostic machine are you using? It seems to be a powerful tool with wiring diagrams

Hello, I kindly like to know how many level sensor for a 2008 BMW X6. do we need right and left sensor thank you..
Do you have a part number for the level sensor you changed?

My f15 x5 is not switching off air compressor after new air springs installed, when I unplug the compressor it sits on its right ride hight and stays there no leaks 🤔🤔🤔
yeah man, great video! is that possible to lower X5 F15 suspension through out the system not touching the hardwere?

Hi M. Ovidiu, I know I'm 2 years late, but I have a novice question... what tool did you use to disconnect the plug at 7:00? Thanks! :)
a pick
Hi. Which software or module do you recommend for bmw x5 e70 for diagnostic like you did.
Hello, you can use IstaD, Impa, Explorer...
Great😀
Great video. I have same issue but on the right side. I had both air suspension bags changed and now i have a erro code 5F8F right level sensor. I haven't replace the sensor yet. Could you helping me finding the part? I'm struggling
Hello , use realoem.com for part identification and part number
@@MOvidiu thank you
more "comfort" more points to repair ;) ;) good job, regards ;)
Hey , thanks !
Hi great info, I have just removed the air bag suspension and replaced with Arnotts coil spring. Im getting the levelling error sometimes like this car. Do you know if I can disconnect the ride level sensor permanently. Thanks for all you vids.
Hello! you need to code-out the option from vehicle order and recode vehicle ! disconnecting things won't help!
Thanks Ill talk with my mechanic. Hopefully he has all the machines to do it. Do you have a coding out video? Thanks again.
My wire harness to the sensor is exposed and I think the wires are the reason I am having this issue. I cant find the wire harness anywhere, can anyone help me with this?
Hi mate my E70 has the similar problem, I change the Air and the shock but the fues keeps on blowing, any advice please

hello will the error go away if you just replace the sensor your self? i guess ou need the computer for the sdjustment?
Hello , you'll need to calibrate the system !!
👍😎

👍👍👍👍

You need to do a complete diagnosis of the system, change sensors, and disconnect things because you have seen a video about that won't help you out.
Hi, 2011 bmw 740li,
Rear driver bag sagging, other 3 raises & lowers
I replaced a new air ride strut
Then a new air compressor
Still won’t raise, all 3 works
What is the issue/solution??
Tks
Hello! Widout a proper diagnosis, you can not do a proper repair, by changing parts blindly won't work !
Have x5m e70 just randomly get level malfunction error after lifted left front wheel on the jack for oil change after that now once in a week after car stays for long period of time like 20 hours or so I had that message I hear compressor for couple minutes and it’s shuts off if I get message just turning key off and restarted vehicle compressor forks longer and all is ok have no idea whats went wrong thanks for reading
Te salut ovidiu!
Am aceeași problemă la un e61
Ce ar trebui să fac?
Salut, ar trebui sa te duci la un service specializat BMW din zona ta!
Superr!
