Yes, but only if the new module came from a similar engine. The equipped cars have 4x height sensors, one at each wheel, compared to the two, one on each axle, for the inline four cars, so there is no way to configure a v6 BHI electronics to fit an inline four car, or vice versa.

Hi,
I've just has the same problem with the suspension pump in that it blew the fuse and then stopped working the other day. I've stripped the unit and and taken the plate with the bushes out, it was as suspected full of carbon dust.
My question is does anyone know where to get new bushes as mine probably don't have much more than 1000km left in them?
Regards
Phil

Hello Phil,

I had the same problem on my C5 X7 earlier this year although I didn't need to replace the brushes. If you have not yet reassembled the pump carefully measure the brushes and note where the lead is connected to the brush itself. From memory the loose end of the lead is spot welded to the plate supplying the current.

This company: https://carbonbrushes.nl/ specialises in carbon brushes for all sorts of applications and brands, helpfully you can also search their catalogue by shape and dimension.

I've not used them personally but you may get lucky and find a suitable set for the suspension pump.

Regards,
Ted
