What's this air valve called

m2006d · Feb 29, 2020

Hi, I have an L322 2006 with an air suspension fault. I've now found the fault but can't find what the part is called. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated. The valve is located on the driver's side of the rear sub frame. I have added a pic name or part number would help.
TIA

Sorry, I do not knw the name of the part, but looking at all that rust, buying a new one may be a waste of money, the car will have rusted away before you have time to fit it

I don't know what it is either but do tend to agree with Keith. What a mess that is.

Tend to agree, the vehicle may go into shock having a non rusted part fitted to it. Is the vehicle on the road ?
If so i would send it for an mot before spending money on it mate

This is not being negative its just you may have a ton of money that will need spending on it

You'll need to click on each of the headings at the bottom of the page to open the diagrams then the parts for the LR part number.

When you say you have found the fault , how did find out it was that part? Do you have any fault codes ?

Henry_b · Feb 29, 2020

Like HC i'm wondering how you found the fault?
And how you know it is the particular component?

Surely if there was a code that would give you a vague idea of the part at fault ?

And regarding the rot.

Rust on and around the subframe is quite common from what i've seen on a few L322's. Subframe mounting areas are one hell of a rot point on them, same as the rear seatbelt anchorage point..

You sure thats for suspension, its about the right location for the fuel burning heater diesel pump, right sort of clips as well.

You won’t, they don’t fare well in comparison.

They had worked out how to solve their problem of chassis lasting too long by production of the mk3

Of course supply and demand, had forgotten that one

As all ready mentioned that looks like a fuel pump with the end broken off.

Yep , and also one hell of an MoT failure.
@ OP as said several times above if it is on the road, get it checked/MoTd , before spending.
Other than that good luck with her.

Planned obsolescence.

I was wondering if it was something to do with the fuel tank leak detection system but i have my doubts now as the part int he photo is metal and the pump i am looking at is plastic.
its the pump that pressurises the fuel tank to detect for leaks, emission control stuff.

And reading the description from rave it looks to be in the wrong place as well, you may want to ignore this .........

Also the rave manual i have doesnt cover all of 2006 as that would have been Jag ny then
