Hi everyone, I need some advice from anyone who's run into this issue. A few days ago I started my car and noticed the air suspension compressor was constantly running even after lifting the car to right height. I only had to go a couple miles and when I got out the compressor was still running and then a loud POP. My car immediately dropped and bottomed out so I brought it back home....barely! After a beer or two to calm my nerves I started looking underneath the rear as the pop came from there and found a nice big hole in the rear passenger air bag. I ordered bags and disconnected the sensor and air line but cannot figure out an easy way to get the bag out without disconnecting some suspension components.

I appreciate any thoughts as just sucks....I can't even have it towed to a shop because the car is so low that even with an ultra low jack I had to drive the car on two pieces of plywood to raise it enough for the jack. Ugh...I need a beer.

 

I looked at what I compiled from the Porsche Tech Info site, and sadly I did not get the instructions for the rear. I am linking Arnott's product. There is an installation resource tab there towards the bottom middle...

Thanks I appreciate your input! I ended up finding the section in the 13000 page Porsche service manual which shows that the shock absorber also has to be removed first. Instructions are on page 11524. I plan to do this tonight for both rears and will post my comments on installation afterwards.
