Hi
Sorry I should have quoted it better , as on my new front struts I removed the Voss connectors and fitted them with the new pushfits
Yes all 3 x valve blocks are the same size being 6mm , great u have the plastic cutter
Hope that helps and indeed plse let us know how u get on , hopefully it’s all straight forward and mange to stay warm in this horrible windy weather

Hello... Thank you again for these insights...
Regarding the push fit connector which is on the air spring, is it straight or angled? (I think it's right!)
I put some elbows in but it leaks at the entrance to the pipe.. I was thinking of putting Voss connectors back in for that.. Thank you and have a nice day

Ur so welcome , they were straight connectors
Ref the pushfits do they have plastic collars to them or did u get ones from the link of the ones I got plse
Must confess didn’t have any issues with the ones I got , however if ur having issues would refit the Voss ones on ur struts ,particularly as the whole strut has to come out every time , maybe the ends of the pipes have some scoring on them or out of shape , or bad pushfits
Hope that helps

Good evening
The connectors have plastic collars.. I think the problem comes from this plastic collar

Many thks for the update , alas from previous experience found those plastic ones can often leak , due to there lower pressure ratings
the brass ones have a pressure rating of 80 bar where the plastic will often only have a 10 bar rating
That was the main reason I picked the brass ones as the air compressors can produce between 13 to 17 bar therefore exceeding the plastic collar fittings
Was also careful buying the correctly rated plastic pipe seeing the air suspension compressor can produce roughly between 189 psi / 13 bar to 260 Psi or 18
When I was shopping for a roll of plastic pipe some were only rated at 250 psi so too close for comfort , tube I got was rated around 400 psi , advertised having a wall thickness of 4mm
Hope that’s also useful to ur good self

Hi
To rule a leak out u could always remove the gap iid then test it overnight by measuring the heights first then removing fuse F26 to see what it’s like the next day
At least then ur be able to rule any leaks out
Hope that helps

Sorry as re read it, so basically after you’ve taken the gap iid tool out the rear drops after 12 x hours
Personally mine will drop around 10mm after 24 x hours , found no leak and just put it down to it settling as it won’t drop any further than that
Would at least first measure the heights before and after the gap iid tool has been removed, ur then get an accurate reading
Hopefully someone else may be able to help further if that’s also happened to them
