The second part is K-2898 for the 2007-’13 BMW X5 (E70 Chassis). It replaces OE part No. F6AZ5319AA, 8W1Z5319A and F1VY5319A, and retails for $119. Backed by Limited Lifetime Warranty in North America and the European Union.

An air suspension solenoid valve block is responsible for distributing air from the compressor to a vehicle’s air struts or air springs. Over time, valve block O-Rings can dry rot and leak air, causing the vehicle’s air compressor to overwork or allow moisture to degrade the electrical solenoid components, causing additional problems.

Arnott says its solenoid valve block is made from the highest quality materials and is designed to meet or exceed the original equipment.
