Been away a week.......

My experience of EAS is that if there is a bit of wear in the bags then it will go down over a few days. But to be honest, if the compressor is good enough to keep them up in "normal" use then its not too much of an issue.

The other one I found was a leaky exhaust valve in the air block.

The bags themselves arent too difficult to change - two clips top and bottom and the air hose - but they're a job for open wallet surgery if you want them new. I got a replacement set off a chap who had converted to coils and didn't want all the gubbins anymore

Ta matey, the air comp makes a hell of a racket so i got hold of a new one for £100, even if i dont need it i can eBay it.

I really dont want to converty to coils as it defeats the object of it all i suppose.

To be honest, all the bags look like very nearly new, i'll have a gander at the vavle block, any diagrams available?

If one spring has a slight leak the system will self level every 6 hours or so, it will always let air out to self level when the engine is off and it will end up in the lowest postion just off the bump stops. It also self levels every time you close the door so if you load it up then close the doors it goes down to level.

If one spring is on the bump stop then that should be the one that is leaking.

I got a set of the rubber parts for the air bag from ebay new from Island

Sounds like time for a ssession with some real soapy soap soap water with some soap in. splish liberally and await bubbles.

Everything you need to know is here:

If you need the service manual section on the air suspension, let me know. But really, the web site I referenced has quite a bit of information.

I've been thinking of buying one of these emergency bypass systems to pump up the system if it ever goes down at a bad moment. For $145 US you can't go wrong.

My SIII suspension stays at the same height no matter how long I LEAF it alone. :-) BOOM! BOOM!

or, you need a 4 headed wire, and then you just

1. Unplug the ECU controlling the suspension.

1. On the amp plug (if you pull back the sleeve all the wires are numbered) loop pins 1 & 8 to run the compresser for a couple of minutes to charge the system.

2. Then to raise each corner connect the following together with a loop of wire:

1. To lower each corner:

If you wish to completely deflate the system then connect pins 1, 8 & 9.

If you then leave the ECU unplugged the suspension will remain pumped up until you can have the system diagnosed properly.

I found keeping this in the car with 4 bits of wire soldered together was most useful

FWIW - the air suspension on a classic (non LSE) can cope with 50 yds of turf. 55 yards causes it to have an exhaust valve fault and go into limp home - yes this is the voice of experience!
