Shock absorber specialized?
By osamabawab •
anybody knows a specialized mechanic who can fix/assemble shock absorber for my car, to be more specific: my car has a hydraulic air shock absorber system (Audi A8) and i want to cancel this system and fix a traditional shocks instead coz the price of the original shocks is very much expensive (even in the scrap yard), so the best solution is to fix the existing one (rare to find someone to repair such thing here in Qatar) or to replace it with a traditional shock absorbers.
any suggestions?
Buy only one that is leaking...
Ship using aramex account address in us..then the will ship it to Doha.Then after install you send your defect shock to them,you wil get core reund 300 us dollar.
it is 2004 model, i tried the website which u mentioned but it is mentioned "this part is not for the international shipping" and the other most important thing is the price: each is $650 = Q.R.2,400/- which means Q.R.4,800/- without fixing. anyway i found the same in ebay but hesitating to order it.
You are welcome dear,
What year is ur Audi?
Keep posting what your solution will be.
Cheers,
Thanks again Zidd, I will check that, in fact the current one is leaking air & the leak is increasing, the car used to go down from the front only when parking for 2-3 hours and once I start the engine it will go up again , but now it is not going up anymore and it is touching any small speed breaker. i am afraid that the air compressor is busted due to the continuous leaking
I order the exact match of my car's replacement shock from online store...
They ship it here to DOha...
Then i call a mechanic to come to my place to install it.
Thats all...my ride back to road like a charm.

Actually what happened to your stock Shock? Is it leaking the air? How many has the problem?All two front?
Thanks Zidd123, dash board notification is not a problem for me i already disabled the air pressure system be myself earlier, but who made ur Cadillac? I mean who fixed the traditional shocks for you?
I did has the similar situation before, the different that is may car is Cadillac, has the same out of life air shock absorber, it's leak the bags and air compressor shot. my solution was replace all the shock with traditional shock absorber.Theonly remaining problem was annoying dash remainder off the suspension system malfunction.But not without solution....
Remove RTD fuse disable the auto ride remainder.Problem solved.
But again that was with Cadillac as for your car brand it must be similar.
Google how to disable auto ride with your car.
Thank you Oskaar, i contacted him but he said that i have to change the shock absorbers & no other option :(
