Any drawings of the air suspension system for 2012 Continental GT?
Driver side rear loses air.

I'm going to soap up the connections at wheel and compressor, just need a bit of help finding their exact locations.

 

Hello Richard,
I would think the 12 would be like the years before it, so, the compressor is accessible from under the vehicle in the spare tire area, with the compressor is the distribution valve block with the six hoses, being that you have only one corner failing, I would not think it to be the accumulator tank located in the left rear wheelhouse because then they all would fall, but either the air spring itself or hopefully the valve block or the airline for said corner, see pics.

 

....Hello Richard...what is history on car...how much mileage...how does one use a Bentley in NYC...in 6 years I have never used mine here in the City or let a valet get in car...parking is impossible...did your air suspension issue come on gradually or all at once...JimB

 

Thanks Johnny, certainly a help.


Jim, Its my wife's car. Our house is near Northport so its more of a suburban car. Just hit 7,200 miles. She doesn't drive the car much and one day I noticed the lean. Started up for a quick drive and the suspension was back level. Within a day or 2 it's back to no air again.


I'd like to track the leak before a repair shop tells me I need a new "air system"

 

My 2007 did the exact same thing for about 6 months before the strut just went out completely and after I had it repaired the front passenger side went about 6 weeks later.

 

For what it's worth, as per separate thread, I have had the same issue on my 2006 GT. Went to the stealer in Spain who told me new air susp units were required $2,200 plus work please..stupid me bought the rear right one from Bentley UK a fair bit cheaper and had it changed...No cure!! Just had 4 hours diagnostic done at same place (why don't ask) and they have determined that the air pipe and connectors need changing on the right rear. So try the soapy water spray first, and possibly save a bundle. Shouldn't fail with 7k miles anyway.. Good luck.

Hello Johnny...on the Struts, which seem to go out in time...I see in another post you mention Rebuild Master Tech. Florida charging $650 to rebuild Front Strut...how do fronts differ from Rears in construction...realize that fronts have to deal with engine weight, rears much less weight....what do you estimate the life expectancy of a strut under normal conditions and what conditions would lead to quicker deterioration...Thanks Jim
