The connectors should have already been screwed into the springs when you got them.

Ok, we got the new fittings on but the front bags still slowly leak. I am assuming because of the audi fittings with the arnott bags.

I didn't see anywhere on the arnott website where they sell any replacement fittings and connectors.

I guess I don't understand why arnott would sell replacement bags and not make them to fit the original oem fittings.

It looks like I misunderstood my mechanic when he tried to explain the original problem to me.

Apparently, the air line was ruptured and that is what caused the massive failure.

Now I need to find some replacement air line and splices to repair it. I don't want to have to pay Audi over $200 for their replacement line. I only need about a foot and two splices.

I found another (old) thread that listed the size of the air tube to be 4mm. Can anybody confirm that? I just don't want to order the wrong size.

I have recently spliced into my allroads lines...they are 4mm,I got a t piece and and airline fitting so I could blow the system up manually,you can get straight fittings too,they just push on and that's it,got mine from the local hydraulics place....

That's what I did. I picked up some 4mm tube and a quick connect fitting and spliced it in. No more leaks. Now I have a new, possibly unrelated, issue with the car. One that is worthy of a new thread.
