Used Audi air suspension, Q7, A8, A6 Allroad and A7 air struts, compressors and valve blocks, delivered nationwide.
Looking for used Audi air suspension parts for sale in South Africa? The adaptive air suspension on the Q7, A8, A6 Allroad and A7 is fantastic when it works and brutal to fix at dealer prices when it doesn’t. We strip these models and supply tested second-hand air struts, compressors and valve blocks at a fraction of new.
A sagging corner, a car that won’t lift, or a compressor running constantly are the classic symptoms, usually a perished air strut, a worn-out pump or a sticking valve block. A good used part from a low-mileage donor gets the ride height back without the new-OEM price. Send us your VIN and the corner or part affected.

Front and rear air struts/springs for the Q7, A8 and the adaptive A6/A7. The perished bellow is the #1 failure, sold per corner, left/right specific.
The air suspension compressor is the single most-replaced part. It burns out after a chronic leak elsewhere, so always fix the leak first. Used units cost far less than a refurb.
The solenoid valve block routes air to each corner. Sticking solenoids cause uneven or slow ride-height changes. Compact and easy to courier.
Every part is checked and, where possible, test-run before it leaves the yard.
All parts are covered by our standard 30-day warranty for peace of mind.

Adaptive air suspension is one of the best things about a big Audi — and one of the most expensive to fix at OEM prices. On the Q7 spares range, the A8, the A6 Allroad and the A7, a sagging corner, a car that won’t lift, or a compressor that runs constantly are the everyday complaints. Tested used struts, compressors and valve blocks from cars we strip get the ride height back for a fraction of new.
Diagnosis is usually straightforward: a single low corner is almost always a leaking air strut on that corner, while a car that sits low all round points to the compressor or valve block. Crucially, a compressor nearly always fails because it has been overworking to cover a leak elsewhere — so fix the perished strut first, or the replacement pump will burn out too.
The Q7 and A8 that wear out air struts are often the same high-mileage cars developing driveline play, so it can be worth checking the Q7 transfer case at the same time. For owners chasing several jobs at once, browse Audi A8 parts or just send your VIN and the affected corner — we’ll quote exactly what you need.

A used air strut typically runs R3,500–R11,000 depending on model and corner, a compressor R5,000–R12,000, and a valve block R2,500–R5,000. That is a fraction of new-OEM and refurb prices. We quote each part individually with delivery.
The Q7 (4L and 4M), the A8 (D3/D4), the A6 Allroad and the adaptive-suspension A6 and A7 are the main ones in South Africa. The SQ7 and some S/RS models use it too. Tell us your model and we’ll confirm what we stock.
A single sagging corner is almost always a leaking air strut on that corner. If the whole car sits low or won’t lift, suspect the compressor or valve block. We can help you work out which part to order from the symptoms before you spend.
A compressor usually fails because it has been overworking to compensate for a leak elsewhere, typically a perished strut. If you fit a used compressor without fixing the underlying leak, the new one will fail too. Always sort the leaking strut first.
Struts are checked for bellow condition and leaks, and compressors and valve blocks are tested for operation where possible, before sale. Everything is backed by our standard 30-day warranty.
Yes. Struts, compressors and valve blocks all courier well, and we ship from Centurion to every province in South Africa, usually within a few working days. Collection from the yard is welcome too.
