Range Rover Air Suspension
Faskit for Range Rover
At first I had an Efi gasoline Classic which gave me very good moments
for 15 years and which I still keep. Later I acquired a New Range P38
and the truth is that I was desperate with the air suspension. My Range
spent a total of 70 days in the repair garage throughout 2 years due to
the air suspension. The problems were constant. And the worse part is
than they were not solved!
I was already determined to sell it and end the nightmare when I
discovered Faskit. Everything changed. For a start I could have the car
with no worries while the problem was solved. It gave me a chance to
think about it. They had changed the pneumatic springs already, the Ecu
and now the valve unit had to be changed. Faskit has given me confidence
in my Range and that permits me to travel even to Africa if I want to!
Nothing happens. I can inflate the suspension even in the middle of the
desert … with the system compressor. And that in case there is a gas
station nearby.
The air suspension is a technological marvel.
It produces a unique traction feeling on all terrains. When working
correctly, it offers the most luxurious and comfortable 4x4.
But many owners know from experience that once that sophisticated
suspension fails… they have a problem that makes them call a tow truck
and abandon their beloved vehicle at the nearest garage.
Some even decide to reject the air suspension and use the traditional
spring suspension.
At that moment they are abandoning a magnificent suspension and leave
their beloved car without an argument for future sale and will have to
communicate it to the buyer.
With Faskit it is not necessary to reject air suspension and you will have a diagnostic system for malfunctions and your confidence will be improved since you won't have to call the tow truck for that reason.
Faskit is put in the air line between the air suspension springs and
its valve box. Thus it allows operation freeing each pneumatic spring
individually and inflate the springs by means of the compressed air of
the vehicle coming from the compressor or in a gas station.
Faskit does not reduce the reliability of the air suspension of the
vehicle. On the contrary. You have a trustworthy system which gives you
security and helps you in the diagnostic of failures. And most
importantly: it prevents you from becoming stranded on the highway or
the mountain!
The installation of Faskit uses quick adjust connectors which form a
tight seal around the diameter of the air tubes. To ensure this seal, it
is important to insert the tubes correctly by pressing sufficiently.
The cutting tool enables the tubes to be cut to the required length.
The connectors that we provide with Faskit are designed so that no tools
are required for its installation. The connections! are made by pushing
the air lines into the quick adjust connectors until the air line is
joined automatically.
The air lines must be properly immobilized as far as possible to avoid
any tension or inadequate movement.
Be careful that they are located far from hot or moving parts. It is
important to avoid extreme angles in the connection of the air lines.
Tension in the connection could deform the air line and prevent a
correct seal.
The Faskit connection is made only once and it is not necessary to
remove it ever again. If a failure takes place you only have to operate
on the closure keys and inflate the suspensions manually and function in
this way indefinitely or until you decide to repair it.
No special tool is required and it integrates perfectly in the engine compartment. The factory suspension hardware is left intact and operational.
Faskit enables independent inflation of each spring based on the load and its distribution. It is a solution to recover the height of the car once a failure takes places in the original system. When the failure is repaired the original system is restored easily, just turning the closure keys to the “open” position.
It supplies compressed air, as well as a pressure gauge to control the
operating pressure of the system.
