Air Tube Replacement: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Cadillac Eldorado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
At the rear struts and at the pressure limiter valve, the air tube connectors are held on with spring clips which snap into the grooves of the struts air fittings or pressure limiter valve. Air tube connectors are sealed using two O-rings.
Important: Before disconnecting any air tube, clean the connector and the surrounding area to prevent dirt and other foreign material from entering the ALC system.
To disconnect an air tube from a strut or from the pressure limiter valve, rotate the spring clip 90 degrees out of the slots, and pull the connector off.
Important: Ensure that the air tube is routed correctly and all fasteners are used.
To connect an air tube to a strut or to the pressure limiter valve, use the following instructions:
- Lubricate the two O-rings using silicone lubricant.
- Rotate the spring clip 90 degrees into the slots.
- Push the air tube connector on the strut fitting or pressure limiter valve until the spring clip snaps into the groove.
