About Audi A6 Air Suspension
The Audi A6 is Audi’s mid-size luxury sedan and wagon platform, and air suspension is fitted to certain trims across multiple chassis generations. Most common air-suspended A6 trims are the A6 Allroad (which uses raised air suspension with multiple height settings for light off-road capability), the Sport package A6, the high-performance S6, and the supercharged RS6. Standard A6 sedans typically use coil suspension, so air suspension components only fit specific trims.
Audi A6 Chassis Generations Carrying Air Suspension
Common Reasons to Replace Audi A6 Air Suspension Components
- Air spring leak (most common A6 failure, especially on the C5 Allroad)
- Compressor burnout from continuous run on a leaking system
- Compressor relay failure (cheaper fix)
- Valve block O-ring leak
- Height sensor wiring corrosion or failure
- Compressor air dryer saturation, moisture damaging downstream components
A6 Air Suspension Components We Carry
- Front air struts (with adaptive damper integrated where applicable)
- Rear air springs (separate from shocks on most A6 chassis)
- Air compressor with integrated dryer
- Compressor relay and harness
- Valve block (manifold valve)
- Height sensors and harness
- Air lines and fittings
- Complete air suspension kits
A6 Allroad Specific Notes
The A6 Allroad uses a more capable air suspension than standard A6 trims, with a wider range of ride heights to support light off-road driving. Allroad components are not interchangeable with regular A6 air suspension components, so always confirm Allroad trim at order. The Allroad is also the most common A6 air suspension failure platform because its ride height adjustment cycles wear the air springs faster than in the lower A6 sedan.

All four air springs failed within 6 months at 165,000 miles, the classic C5 Allroad story. Vaz confirmed C5 Allroad-specific spec and shipped a complete 4-corner kit with new compressor. Local Audi indy installed it over a weekend. Allroad rides like a brand-new car for the first time in years. Worth every penny.

Front-right air strut leaked at 102,000 miles. Vaz confirmed C7 chassis and Sport package adaptive damper compatibility. Shipped Arnott replacement, both fronts replaced together. VCDS adaptation went smooth at the local indy. Adaptive air ride is back to factory smoothness.
