TESLA AIR SUSPENSION LEAK - REPEATING AIR COMPRESSOR CHARGING THEN WHOOSH SOUND
My Tesla Model S 2013 has been experiencing air suspension issue. Starting about 6 months ago the Tesla repeatedly makes continuous air compressor sounds followed by a decompressing whooshing sound, over and over again. It is becoming worst and occuring almost every 3 - 5 minutes.
I asked Tesla Service Center, they did not tell me anything meaningful, they only told me that it will cost $97 to diagnose the issue.
I decided to research about this continuous air compressing and decompressing issue and found the issue to be caused by a leaking air hose T-connector in the front part of the car.
This video will show you how to repair this issue and replace this air hose leak with a new 1/4-inch quick connect in-line coupler.

Your video just saved me hundreds of dollars. I was laughing when I ordered the inline coupler from amazon, but was not laughing anymore when it stopped the leak. Thank you sooo much!!!

Love how u say the word “soapy” with your accent haha adorable ❤ my model x just gave me that same disabled message gonna try this 🌹

For releasing those kind of connections "easily" you can use a fixed wrench so you can push strongly the "T" connection and use the other hand for pulling out the hose. Sorry for my english. Thank you for the vid, 3€ and 20 minutes for this reparation. You can unscrew the nipple from the original "T" and attach it to a new one. It´s recommended to use teflon tape on the threads of the nipple in the opposite direction where you are going to screw, otherwise you would take the tape out of the threads when you put it in.

Can you just remove the center black shroud/cover that gave you access to that valve and the cabin filter without removing the side shroud/covers and/or frunk carpet and frunk cavity?

@pollywollydo 2 жыл бұрын

It would be good practice to remove 1/16-1/8 “ from each end ( if there is enough slack) to allow the new fitting to bite onto “new” pipe. Cut with sharp knife NOT clip with pliers” in order not to end up with the pipe out of round ( deform) I believe this valvE was resisted onto the res in 2016

@hindafinga4890 4 ай бұрын

Wouldn't be Jack mode advised before releasing the pressure ? Did you had overnight lowering e.g. rear axle both sides , thats what I have ? This is the TAS suspension, mine from 2015 doesn't have that valve.

@user-vn5vv6zh9m 4 ай бұрын

I also have an MS 2015, which lowers the rear axle every two/three days. Any ideas as to where there might be a leak? Regards Tony

Great, thank you for this. Is removing the valve going to cause a problem down the line?

@DIYGEEKTEXAS 3 жыл бұрын

Yes and no, the valve is for removing pressure air inside the line before working on the line / air suspension parts. However the pressure there is not high enough to be dangerous. Without the valve you can still remove the push-to-connect coupler, a loud gush of air will come out of course, wearing a glove, eye protection and ear protection will help shield from danger.

the other possibility is that it can be the internal valve mechanism, (a schrader valve kit can be used) good luck all.

Sometimes the valve can come loose. I would have tried tightening it first with skinny needle nose plier or a schrader valve tool).

I really wish i would have seen this sooner. Tesla repair shops are a joke, but I'm the sucker. They told me the air compressor and relay were bad so that was $1500. They may have been bad with how often it was running, not sure. They then told me that the struts were bad and quoted me 6k. I thought i was saving money by using a third party strut install for 3k but that still didn't fix the issue. I then got the new T from tesla and it still leaked there. Going to try some of the suggestions here. Tesla mechanics should be aware of this issue and know what you do given all of the people that have had this issue. I guess buyer beware with Tesla. Not sure how i missed this video as i did do plenty of searches. 😮

Hi diy geek, my car is doing this whoosh more often now. Only while driving and happens every 3-5 minutes during active driving. I think Tesla update the layout of the pipes because I don’t have the nipple in that location. I’ve checked for holes in the lines and nothing is chaffing and all looks ok, what else can explain that whoosh noise?

@DIYGEEKTEXAS 2 жыл бұрын

If not the lines, you may want to check the air bags from each wheel. May be leaking air there! Use soapy water and spray.

@joeozzie1 Жыл бұрын

Just curious how you charged or serviced the system after replacing the coupler?

@DIYGEEKTEXAS Жыл бұрын

As long as the air compressor still works, it charges the air pressure by itself. This valve was only to release the pressure.

No doubt ! I asked them to explain how they did diagnose and they said : we did put the suspension to very high and we did wait till morning, then they did check if the suspension height is getting lower or not! Before i did bring my car to service center, they confirmed that the leakage warning is appeared on their system but now it is disappear but the noise is still there !! Super wierd situation

@slartybartfarst9737 Жыл бұрын

Been suffering this problem of compressor cycling for 6 years on occasions, only when car is left for a few days unused. If it proves to be this "top up Shrader valve" I will T off an output so I can use compressed air to pump up stuff and junk the Shrader valve T. Update a Tesla tech told me that as the system is closed and on cold / wet days the car is cycling warm / dry air from the pump that gets hot into the tank it prolongs life of the system, anyone else know if this is correct it kinda makes sense

It can not be nitrogen, because tesla has a compressor that pumps air to make suspension go up and down. I doubt Tesla cars generate Nitrogen out of thin air. LOL

@nicolasgalileo7209 Жыл бұрын

Nitrogen is used cuz in cold climate areas regular admosferic air has moisture that will condensed inside so when winter comes voila!

@cyclefrst7799 5 ай бұрын

@@DIYGEEKTEXAS FYI, the replacement parts should be rated DOT Air. (union joints or air lines) When the car is new, the sealed system is vacuumed empty through that Schrader valve and filled with low moisture nitrogen. Nitrogen will cycle throughout the system inside the suspension reservoir. (raising / lowering) Some leakage will occur over time and outside air will be pulled in eventually. As moisture accumulates, it can contaminate the valve block or compressor parts. Tesla SC will charge a premium for this repair service, but the service procedure calls for evacuation of all gases in the system and fill with nitrogen.
