We receive enquiries about this on a regular basis and therefore decided to put together a blog post.
One of the most commonly asked questions is whether we can repair manifolds. We can’t. If we receive a warranty claim we simply send the manifold to the manufacturer, and they supply us with a new one. AirLift Performance does not offer any 3P repair kits either. If the manifold is not working and is under warranty it needs to be sent back to ALP. Sometimes people open the manifolds to try and establish the problem themselves. This invalidates warranty and there are no spare parts available.
AirLift Performance used to offer a Limited Lifetime Warranty, but this was not recognised under UK law for being too ambiguous and in 2021 the company updated it. Starting from 03/09/2021, 3P/3H/3S will have a 2 year warranty if purchased without AirLift Suspension and a 4 year warranty if purchased with a front and rear suspension kit from AirLift Performance.
The warranty, pre or post 2021, only applies to the original buyer. This is one thing to keep in mind when buying vehicles with aftermarket air suspension to help determine whether it’s a vehicle for you. 3P spare parts range from £12.50 for a special USB cable (a regular one won’t work) to £1500 for a new manifold.
A user guide, if you don’t have one, is available on ALP’s website or we can email you a copy. Some system messages are more serious than others. “Pressure sensor fault” means that, unfortunately, you would need a new manifold.
Occasionally we get asked about parts for Autopilot V2, ALP’s air management option before 3P/3H was launched in 2015. AirLift Performance does not sell any spares for V2 anymore and, since we never sold this controller option ourselves, we have nothing available for it. It was a great product for its time and 3P is its massively improved version. Depending on the condition and make of the compressor and tank they could be reused but the manifold and the remote would need replacing with 3P.
