Air compressor replacement W/ DHP

[richxd87]

Has anybody had to replace the air compressor on their X5 that has DHP? Started digging into pulling the compressor for diagnostics after replacing both bags and fuse/relay and found a mess of hard lines leading to the DHP valve block blocking removal of the air compressor.

Can I unbolt the DHP valve block entirely and drop it enough to remove the air compressor without disconnecting the hydraulic lines or do they need to be disconnected?

Thanks,
Richard

As long as you don't remove any lines. They're full of power steering fluid.

Works for me in the app. Maybe it's fixed.
