EAS is now a big Poof YIPPY!!

My eas has been playing up ever since my stainless exhaust(which wasnt stainless!!) snapped and melted the air line 2 years ago.
Six months ago I purchased the unlock software which worked great and lifted the car off the bumps . Next i purchased a second hand driver box and pressure sensor , which i still had the same results as before. It would go to max height for no reason and would take ages to fall to low level.
This morning afte doing some more research I unscewed the exhaust filter and a miricle happened. It went up and down like a yoyo and went from max to floor in about (0-60cm) 3 seconds.
I took the filter apart and full of white powder and totally blocked.
Rang around for one and this little bit of plastic with a tiny bit of filter paper is £22 . I've put a few holes in it and screwed it back in and now works fine.
Does anyone know where you can get these cheaper than this as its a p take.

Anyway if your having trouble with your EAS unscrew that first as it might save you a lot of time and money.
I now have a spare working driver and a alternator (150 Amp) spare(thought it was making a noise which turned out to be a idler wheel in stead £12 :doh:.)

Hi
Where does this little bleeder live please?

Been trying to get hold of a manual, no luck so far - but that sounds like my problem...
cheers

look at the EAS box from the front of the car. On the left hand side behind the pipe it is screwed in. Its a small cylinder about 20mm diameter and 20-30 mm long(looks white). Unscrews normal tread directions

Were you getting strange flashing orange light sequences on the height indicator when this was faulty along with the up arrow on the dash? Were you able to counter the rise by pressing the down button or did it do it itself?

nothing strange but was able to lower it by pushing the lower button

Did you have only one air line melt? I think I have the same problem, I did not replace the rear exhaust as I was having EAS problems anyway and wanted to get it resolved.
Mine only has the right rear not coming up anymore (the EAS does not work but just got the manual schrader valves).

Hann, hi, suggest you start a new thread with your exact problem on, but first check "www.rswsolutions", for some background.

Thanks, I will, my EAS problems are pages long.

You found white powder in there??? Renew your dessicant as soon as possible.

Your valve block may be full of that powder and that'll block or make your valves leak badly.

I did not check it out yet, the car is in front of the house and I have to get another jack to lift it, had a small one underneath from my girlfriends Megane, but that one could not hold the weight.
