Here are images of what the Airmatic (air suspension) compressor pump for the 2014 Audi Q7 typically looks like—compact, robust, and often paired with its relay module.

2014 Audi Q7 Airmatic Compressor Pump Overview

Functionality & Role

The Airmatic compressor pump is a vital component of the Audi Q7’s air suspension system. Its primary function is to draw in ambient air, compress it, and supply pressurized air to the vehicle’s air springs. This helps maintain proper ride height, vehicle stability, and smoother ride comfort across varying loads and road conditions. It also works in concert with height sensors and an ECU to adjust air pressure dynamically.

Key Specifications & OEM Compatibility

• Common OEM part numbers include 4L0698007A, 4L0698007B/C, and associated equivalents such as 7L8616006A and 4154033050. 
• Designed for the Audi Q7 (4L) model years 2006–2015, especially encompassing the 2014 model year. 

Aftermarket Replacements

Brands like Arnott and Dunlop provide aftermarket OEM-style replacements—typically including:

• A pre-installed relay (which should always be replaced alongside the compressor to ensure reliability)
• Integrated dryer to prevent moisture from entering the system
• Thermal protection circuits for the motor
• Plug-and-play electrical connector and mounting bracket 

Weight & Construction

• Aftermarket units generally weigh between 4 kg to 8 kg, constructed with aluminum, steel, and plastic components to balance weight and durability. 
• Designed for corrosion resistance and long operational life even under harsh conditions. 

Installation Notes & Maintenance

• Always replace the relay when installing a new compressor—even if the old one appears functional—to avoid failure. 
• Ensure the entire air suspension system is airtight, as leaks can overwork the compressor, leading to premature failure.
