allroad airbag fix using slime.

**thatrican** · 05-20-2008 11:11 AM

I am having a leak on my front left bag while in level 1. I read somewhere someone used slime and fed it into the bad using a needle, but I can't remember the specifics. Is this possible? Will it hold up? Any downsides to using this as a fix?
Thanks

There have been quite a few posts on AW about this. Several members have reported great success. The only issues is if you use too much slime you can clog the valve.

Or in my case, the leak is so bad the slime wont work.

thanks for such a quick response. Is there a certain way to do this inorder to make sure the slime reaches the hole, or will it automatically go towards the leak once the bag fills up?

Does ne1 know if there is a DIY for this procedure?

Update: I did it this weekend and it seemed to work out great. Before with the car on level 1 you could hear the air leaking out and the airbag would be flat withing 20 min. Now I have left it overnight on level one and it was still full in the morning. It only took me about 25 min to do. extremely easy.
