matt123roll Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 To be honest I've seen a lot of people fork out for air and then sell it a year down the line which it seems like everyones on it but really there's always really the same number of people just there selling on and other people are using it haha! Or at least that's how it seems! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 its just becoming more affordable... people overlook the price of it and think its a small fortune... granted its more than coilovers but not as much more as you might think!too many horror stories of 4k etc... it can be done for under 2k, you just have to be prepared to wait. The biggest cost is the struts and bagsi did this, sold it on and didnt really lose much money at all. had a few months fun with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VolkswagenDan Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Seeing as HavAir have now offered finance, I can see a lot more people getting it done. I have a friend with a 6n2 who spent 1950 on air from rayvern. Mind you, if you want independent setups for extra win, you'll be looking at nearer 3k than 2.

Pete Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Roo?? Yeah in the dark and lashing it down with rain was not fun, but we got it sorted and had a laugh in the process so it's all good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VolkswagenDan Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 How hard is it to fit air? How hard is it to run all the lines and install the tank and compressors and what not. Is it worth just paying the extra to get it fitted? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 It's not hard if you do your research and take your time, it's like plumbing really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTdi Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Haha yes Andy! thought everyone called him roo? If you can fit a sub and a set of collies, can do it! I had AdamR4's help with wiring because I'm an idiot and have no clue about that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hard is it to run all the lines and install the tank and compressors and what not. Is it worth just paying the extra to get it fitted?I have read a build thread for a Mini Cooper air build and... Looked a pain in the fricking balls?? One thing I did find out, that I never thought about, the amount of noise the compressor gives off? Is it terrible?? Good to see it slightly more affordable though to people Edited January 2, 2013 by DarkStryder360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see it slightly more affordable though to people Compressor can be as quiet or as loud as you fix it down! Do what I did, fix it down its one metal to metal screw and its loud, or do what I'm going to do an fix it down with rubber mounting bolts with lots of sound deadening. They are quiet!

Tomjw Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Mine is loud! But thats because I fixed it to a solid board so I will be removing it and putting rubber gromets between them My air cost me under £1300 because I did some searching on forums in the for sale sections and fitted it myself with help from friends. The hardest part is getting the lines to the back of the dash if your running manual but with digital its simple! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolkswagenDan Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Right... Can someone explain to me the difference between electronic and manual paddle valves ?Iv been told to go for electronic and naturally that'd seem the better option. But what's the real difference?Who knows, maybe in another 6 months to a year ill be asking for a bit of help from some of you with regards to fitting it!

JamesTdi Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Manual is a paddle system, push up to go up, push down to go down! Electronic is systems just as e-level, v1 or v2. These are a digital panel with all the ups and downs, they also have pre-sets that you can set I.e 1) for one the floor 2) for driving height and 3) for like 3-wheeling Tbh, nothing wrong with a manual set up! Cheaper to get you started, just remember your driving pressures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
