Arnott VB-3492 Air Suspension Solenoid Valve Unit

OE Replacement Air Suspension Valve Block

Arnott VB-3492 is a direct OE replacement air suspension solenoid valve block for the 2004-2009 Jaguar XJ platform. It routes compressed air from the compressor to the air springs and air struts, helping maintain proper suspension control on Jaguar XJ8, XJR, Vanden Plas, and Super V8 models.

Built as a specific-fit replacement, this valve block addresses common air distribution and sealing issues that can affect ride height and compressor operation. The Arnott VB-3492 is a practical choice when servicing the air suspension system on a Jaguar XJ.

Key Features

• Direct OE replacement air suspension solenoid valve block
• Specific fit for 2004-2009 Jaguar XJ applications
• 6-port design for air suspension routing
• Pin terminal type with 3 terminals
• Oval male connector for factory-style connection
• Standard grade replacement for air suspension service
• Cross-references Jaguar OE numbers C2C2241 and C2C2265 for the same application

Detailed Description

The Arnott VB-3492 air suspension solenoid valve unit is engineered to replace the original valve block used on the 2004-2009 Jaguar XJ. It distributes air from the compressor to the air springs and air struts, supporting the system’s ability to raise, lower, and maintain vehicle ride height. Over time, valve block O-rings can dry out and leak, which can cause the compressor to run more often than normal or allow moisture to affect the electrical solenoids. This replacement helps restore proper air management in the suspension system.

Compatible With 2004-2009 Jaguar XJ8, 2004-2009 Jaguar XJR, 2004-2009 Jaguar Vanden Plas, and 2005-2009 Jaguar Super V8. Part number VB-3492 is also referenced as VB-3492 in service and catalog listings for these Jaguar air suspension applications.

Common Issues This Part May Solve

• Air suspension leaks caused by worn valve block O-rings
• Compressor overwork from repeated air loss in the system
• Moisture-related solenoid performance problems
• Uneven or inconsistent air distribution to the suspension
• Ride height control issues tied to valve block failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and port layout before installation. This unit uses a pin terminal design, an oval male connector, and 6 ports, so matching the factory configuration is important for proper fitment. Inspect the surrounding air lines, fittings, and electrical connectors for wear or contamination during replacement. For best results, diagnose compressor condition and system leaks before installing the new valve block.

Quality Assurance

Arnott supplies OE-style suspension replacement components for specific vehicle applications, and VB-3492 is built as a direct replacement for the factory Jaguar valve block. It is intended to restore proper air suspension air distribution on the listed Jaguar XJ models.
