Mercedes Vito/Viano/V Class (2003-current) | REAR Light Weight
£325.00
This kit fits the rear of a Mercedes Vito (also known as the Viano, V Class, and several other names) from 2003 onwards in rear wheel driver variant. This kit is a full air suspension kit fitted as a direct replacement for coil spring or OEM air springs. The kit bolts directly onto the vehicle with no modifications required (two small holes required on later vehicles) . It is supplied with Schrader (tyre) valves for inflation although options are available for On Board Air (OBA) kits which can be inflated/deflated at the touch of a button.
This kit is for the Mercedes W447 and W639 and is manufactured for AirRide.
This full rear end air suspension kit (replaces your coil spring entirely) and comes with:
2 x Reversible Sleeve Air springs/ Air Bags
Mounting Hardware
Dual Schrader Valves
Instructions for fitting
These bags are well capable of accommodating any load the vehicle can legally carry plus being hitched to a trailer. However the kit is designed for lighter vehicles which spend most of their time at lighter weights or which carry people rather than cargo or a heavy motorhome/camper conversion. Heavier vehicle’s are best using the heavy duty kit.
Average Vito will run around 30-70 psi depending on load – if you have to go above this you probably need the heavy duty kit also available on this website. .
This kit features:-
Excellent and practical bolt-on installation which is rated as DIY or Local Garage Fit.
Improves stability and reduces roll and improves handling.
Recovers lost suspension motion to improve ride quality.
Lifts sagging vehicles to reduce or prevent grounding.
Superb for towing.
Can prevent broken springs.
Can help pass an MOT if your vehicle is low.
Can help re-rating for heavier capacity on some vehicles.
Proper automotive grade air springs (airbags) not factory grade or counterfeit as seen on many kits. Bags have at least 6 inches of lift potential. Bags rated at 1000 Kg per bag – 2 tons of extra lift/support.
Properly designed kit mounted at points able to take the load – and wont damage your chassis as cheaper kits can.
Because we believe in the products we sell, AirRide offers a 2 year extended warranty on this product. (terms apply)
If you are unsure of the correct fitment, please email or call. The most popular kits are usually held in stock and those not in stock can usually be obtained in less than 2 weeks.
Options
Heavy motorhomes with fixed loads are often fitted with simple control systems, such as Schrader (tyre) valves or Schrader valves and a gauge block. These work very well for vehicles carrying a fixed load/weight. When the load in your motorhome varies significantly, On-Board Air (OBA) is normally required. This enables you to get the very best from your kit at all times. OBA allows the ride height to be adjusted for road, weather and load conditions, and for those experiencing grounding conditions it allows the absolute maximum lift to be achieved when needed (for instance on ferries, petrol stations and rough site entrances). The vehicle can then be returned to the most comfortable setting. OBA is also great for towing, where loads are added or removed, or for commercial vehicles that start the working day at one weight and end it at another as deliveries are completed. OBA packages come in various specifications as outlined below. If in doubt, please contact us via e-mail or phone.
Schrader valve kits
The simplest kit available. One fitting at the airbag, a length of line and a Schrader (tyre) valve at the other end. The valve can be fitted anywhere convenient to the user and can be inflated anywhere a tyre can be inflated (e.g. garage, petrol station). Recommended for: Vehicles with a fixed load that does not alter and users who want an entry-level system. Ideal for motorhomes because they are always very heavy vehicles but the weight does not usually vary considerably. Users need to find an air source (i.e. at a garage or petrol station) to adjust the pressures (emergency tyre inflators rarely last if asked to inflate air suspension regularly.)
Schrader valve gauge blocks
A gauge block with two Schrader valves and two gauges. No moving parts to go wrong, such as taps or levers. Pressure can be monitored from the gauge block, which can be fitted anywhere convenient. Several versions available. Recommended for: Vehicles with a fixed load as above but with two gauges for those who always want to know the pressure in the bags.
Budget Duty OBA
Includes a 10% duty cycle compressor, maximum 105 PSI. Comes with an OBA hook-up kit to match the compressor, which comes with an on/off button to get to pressure. Also comes with a cross-locking mini valve. Please note that although the left and right air bags are independent, they cannot be set to different pressures. Does not include a tank. Recommended for: Infrequent adjustment. When the load varies, due to towing or adding payload to a commercial vehicle, air-managed solutions get the very best from the system. This is an entry-level, compressor control package.
Economy Duty OBA
Includes a low duty cycle compressor, maximum 130 PSI. Please note: The left and right air bags are independent but cannot simply be set to different pressures at the touch of a button. Higher specification than the entry-level kit, making this kit very good value for money. This kit is simple to install and operate. As the video below shows, it has a single button to simultaneously lift both sides. To deflate the air and lower the vehicle requires use of the Schrader valves at the bottom of the controller. Recommended for: Users who want a better controller with a heavier-duty compressor but who perhaps don’t adjust the suspension every time they use it and don’t mind waiting 30-40 seconds to lift or drop the vehicle.
Standard Duty OBA
Includes a low duty cycle compressor, maximum 130 PSI, small steel tank, twin-button-and-gauge controller and an OBA hook-up kit to match the compressor. Please note: The left and right air bags are independent and can be set to different pressures. Used for regular adjustment. The compressor is pre-wired with only the connections to the switching relay and three to the vehicle to be made. Four buttons allow users to lift or drop the vehicle from the control panel in a few seconds. Recommended for: Users who regularly adjust the suspension and want to do so in a few seconds. If you have grounding issues on a motorhome then this is the controller for you. This is the minimum recommended for commercial vehicles. Ideal if you have a steep drive, problems with ferries or regularly change the weight of your vehicle.
Premium Duty OBA
Includes a 100% duty cycle compressor, maximum 200 PSI, 200 PSI tank, twin paddle/gauge controller. Used for daily adjustment. Top general spec. This is a far higher spec than the Standard Duty but essentially the same principle. Single, combined button for up and for down, and a single gauge for both left and right (twin needle). Recommended for: Ideal control for commercial use and for motorhome users who just want the confidence from fitting the best compressor and a simpler/smarter controller. If you adjust multiple times per day then this is the ideal option.
Ultimate OBA
Includes a 100% duty cycle compressor, maximum 200 PSI, 200 PSI tank. Used for daily adjustment. Top spec, includes computer controller with programmable pre-sets and standard height adjustment for general running but can be overridden when conditions require. This system can adjust up to four corners and, as the name suggests, is the ultimate controller. Everything is located in one integrated unit, which makes installation simple, and the remote function from any Android or Apple phone or tablet is a real bonus. Recommended for: Users who want the best computer we offer and a remote control. Anyone who wants the best On-Board Air money can buy should go for Ultimate OBA.
