HIDDEN Air Suspension Air Intake Filter - Land Rover Discovery 4 LR4

Did you know that there is a hidden air intake filter for the air suspension in your trunk? No? Then watch this video and I'll show you how easy it is to change or clean this, an air filter and a pollen filter on your Land Rover Discovery 4 or LR4 yourself!
The air filters are really easy to change and the only tool you need is a simple screwdriver. And even this you only need for the air filter in the engine compartment.
Changing the three filters will take you around 10 - 20 minutes, depending on your skills.

The Air Suspension Intake Filter only needs to be washed with warm water and a drop of soap. Please allow the filter to dry out completely before reassembly, thanks!

Excellent information. Thank you. My air filter sponge was completely disintegrated and the crumbs were lying in the bottom of the canister. Thankfully there is also a wad of material in the bottom that prevents the sponge particles from entering the compressor and the control valves. I believe this collapsed filter caused the suspension warning to activate on my LR4. The compressor soon failed completely- probably due to the stress of a restricted filter. My vehicle had only very recently been serviced by a LR dealer. Obviously they did not inspect that air filter.

Hello Gerry! You're welcome ☺️ I've noticed that independent garages know more than Land Rover dealers and their garages, so I'm not surprised that they didn't change the filter. I hope your LR4 or your air suspension works better now! All the best and many greetings! 👈

@dementorum Жыл бұрын

@@notthatkindofachannel put your finger inside the tube after you remove the sponge and if you feel the hole on the bottom of the tube then you dont have the felt. If you find the felt remove it whit the tip of the screwdriver or tweezer. That felt can be washed and dried whit a towel. ( that is what i did). I dont know the part number for that. I did what i saw in your video and by curiosity i checked to see if the inside of the tube is clean and i founded the felt.🤣

If you dont find the felt made by LR, you can go and buy this( must be in some store in your country) and u can fabricate one. Is a very simple craft.

@Land Rover 3 : Since there is not that much dirt or dust in the side pockets of the trunk, I think washing it with warm water and a little soap is enough. Otherwise, this sponge would not cost much. So it depends on what you prefer 😉☺️

This is the first time I have found out about such a filter. Foam disintigrates and turns to powder after a few years - so - personally I would replace this filter every couple of years at every major service.

Yes, this filter is pretty well hidden. Mine was like new after a wash with lukewarm water and soap. But I don't think replacing the filter will cost anyone anything either.
