    Disable Allroad Air compressor?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey all, I recently bought a manual 2.7t Allroad and just finished installing coilovers (i know, blasphemy or whatever). The only problem is that the compressor likes to randomly turn on and try to pump up the suspension that's no longer there. I've been searching for threads on how to disable it but all I was able to find is that the relay is in the trunk somewhere. If somebody could give me some advice or link me to a thread that would be appreciated!

    there should be a fuse in the main panel that you could pull, i think

    '01 allroad, 250k woot woot, still boosting on original turbos and tippy, slightly modified. . .

    Unplug the computer in the driver rear quarter panel. It's kind of a pain, but you can get it by just removing the door and getting creative.

    If not, there's a fuse under the dash that runs the compressor. It's either a big 30 amp of 40 amp. I don't remember.

    Thanks! I found a fuse diagram and you're definitely right, i must have been looking at the wrong fuse box :P

    if the compressor isnt too old, you could always pull it and send it to me
    that would shut it off for good
