92 Q45a Active Suspension

Post by **mikebestes1** » Fri Mar 16, 2007 7:13 pm

My 92 is running flat. A few years ago, I spoke with a guy named Keith Bowers (aka Texas Oil). Is he still around? I'd like to talk to him about replacing my accumulators. Can anyone give me his info so I can contact him?

Any news Mike?

Terrible scraping noises related to the suspension. It is bone dry of fluid so I am hoping that the addition of fluid will solve that issue. I have spoken with Texas Oil recently. I cannot diagnose any other problems with the suspension until the fluid is repleced. I will see if I can get another code and am hoping that that terrible noise is a simple lack of fluid problem. I appreciate your concern. Any ideas about the noise? It is cross between loud squeaking and scraping that seems to be coming from the rear.

I never had any funny sounds from the rear in my car so I can't exactly compare my experience. My car has made noises from the multivalve unit in the front only. First top off the Fluid A and let's see what happens from there. The fact that Keith is working with you ensures you are in good hands. Keep us posted with your progress and start the day you top off the fluid. Be sure to note how much fluid you use and monitor any leaks if there are any.

The latest that was discovered is a severe leak. It will not hold fluid very long until I get the leak fixed. Mechanic is trying to figure out what needs to be done. Thank you for the reply. Any information or knowledge on the fluid leak and how it may be fixed wouldbe appreciated. Bye for now.

Where is the leak? Front? Rear? Is there a spot on your spot on your driveway?

The leak has been detected in several spots. From the shocks, and two lines running from the front to rear. My mechanic has it up in air and has seen them. He is deciding what needs to be done.

Maybe you might have to clean the car real well to see how much fresh fluid is leaking and from where.

Mechanic is draining the fluid overnight and will replace the lines tomorrow which should at least allow it to retain fluid. A test drive with normal fluid levels seemed to eliminate at least most of the noise. Maybe things are not properly lubricated which may be contributing to the noise.
