Hello friend, Many thanks for the info.
do you know if they had Twin pump valve sets or one for the whole vehicle...
AND if they were identical ?
Richard will probably know the answer to his one I hope.

Air Suspension Pumps
Question for the Minions here...
is there an X5 E53 with full front & rear air suspension ?
AND
if Yes, is the Rear Air Suspension pump on my X5 the same pump & valve block set up to a front & rear
axle air suspension vehicle, if one exists as E53 ?
regards to all
