Other than the collets on the eas block and the tops of the air bags, where are any other connectors located so i can leak test them all. Thanks.

You can check connections to air dryer and receiver, but if ya certain ya got a leak you can check by driver side rear wheel ( I think ) , there's been cases where exhaust leaks have ruptured air lines,

There is a connection to the storage tank.

The only time a leak in the connections to the air drier would be relivent is when the compressor is running. There is no air in that line unless the compressor is running or air is being exhausted. Any leak in the drier lines cannot cause the bags to deflate.

I did think that, but didn't know for what reason he was asking, so I threw them in, I didn't have rave to hand to check

You won't find that info in Rave unfortunatly.
I would of found the valve block diagram, and read it , and then said the dryer wouldnt be under pressure Unless pump was running ,

Looks like a leak in the valve block. Thanks for the pointers.

But it does not say that. That information is not mentioned in RAVE.

No but as I can read schematics that are in rave I could of said it

Good man, but you didn't know, i did. I did not need to read RAVE to say that. Is that a problem for you? The clue being that the same gallery is used to pressure the system and to exhaust air from the bags. It is not possible to exhaust air of less pressure into a higher pressure area. Therefore when compressor is running air cannot be exhausted from the bags. It is only when the compressor stops and the high pressure air is exhausted to atmosphere via the diaphragm valve that any air can then be let out of the bags. Therefore when the compressor is stopped and no air is being exhausted no leak can take place from the drier circuit. Because it has no pressure in it excepting for that retained by the spring pressure on the bottom of the diaphragm.. So any leak there is from drier circuit can only effect pressurisation of tank, it cannot cause the bags to deflate. Which is what i think the OP was asking. Where could a leak causing the car to drop be coming from. It can't be the drier.

No not a problem for me, you are the one suggesting I don't know what I'm on about
I did not know what the op's original question from another thread was, so I answered the question he asked in this one, which was any other connections to check,

Yes you did indeed, i pointed out that a leak from the drier would only be relivent if compressor was running. It cannot cause the suspension to drop. Without reading RAVE you did not know that. I did, that seems to cause you a problem. As long as the OP now knows that all is well. Oh and you now know that. But relax i don't charge tuition fees.

This is not a problem to me, yes I looked at rave to find that info out, if you didnt need to then great, as the op now knows then great, but as you did.t teach me you wouldn't of been payed any way

All is well with the world then. If you had believed what i said you would not have needed to look at RAVE to find out. You answered a question i expanded on it, to give the OP a better picture. Simple as that, no need for you to get indignant about it, because someone else knew something you didn't.

But I never said you were wrong, merely that I didn't mention it in my initial post, from reading some of your technical posts, its apparent you are a clever bloke, so it does not bother me either way that you are cleverer than me, but just because you are, does not give you the rite to tell me that I only knew it because you told me,

You totally miss the point, you maybe able to interpret schematic drawings and understand technical jargon, but there are people who also read replies posted on here that can't. They need things spelling out. I was just elaborating on other comments, not trying to put you down. But just trying to add to the information. Just read what you wrote, it is patently obvious you did not know that until i mentioned it.

Obviously not blatantly obvious as I did know thank you

Ok you did know, but if you did it was just an oversight on your part to tell the OP to look for leaks on the drier, when that cannot possibly be the cause of the suspension dropping. If you knew the drier circuit has no pressure in it unless compressor is running. Why did you not tell him to run compressor when checking drier connections. If compressor is not running you can pore soapy water on drier all day without finding a leak. There are odd occasions when i get something wrong, you will notice i hold my hand up and put it down to learning. It's a pity you don't have the balls to do the same.
