The numbers are pretty meaningless, you measure from the wheel centre to the wheel arch and adjust the numbers to obtain the correct height. Right down the readings before you play.did compressor today it seems to be working well, on the eas unlock suite what are the correct sensor heights if on wading setting i have 155 fronts and rear are rl 138 rr 135 are these ok or do they have to be increased thought id better check with our resident gurus before i played with the settings and screwed it up

just when i thought it was all done put the valve block back in this morning and the drivers side wont rise i have checked the pipes going into the valve block and no leaks there i stripped it back down to recheck the seals had seated correctly and they appear to be ok as soon as switch the engine off it dropps back to its bump stops

As Saint, Wammers and datatek will verify, I spent a week with mine dancing all over the place, with me saying 'I numbered them before I took them off, I can't get them back in the wrong order' but sure enough. Never doubted any of them since
But, you say the drivers side is not going up, but it drops to bump stops after turning the engine off, is that dropping on the passenger side? It might be worth checking you've got the NRVs back in the right way, I think PaulsP38 has a decent picture of them.
The others are the experts, but might be worth a go.....

if you've tried them in all combinations, and are sure that there's no leaks, I would go back and double check against a diagram that they've ended up in the right places
It will be something simple. I was at the stage of buying a new driver pack (mucho £££) but then had that Doh! moment when I realised what I'd done.
Have a cuppa, breather, and take another look. It wasn't doing this before you did the valve block, and unless you unplugged the driver pack with a hammer, its unlikely it would've gone wrong while the block was on the bench.
i ended up being able to strip the valve block off the car, check the seals on each solenoid and back on the car in about 20 mins I did it so many times.
As has been said many times, the EAS is really simple once you get it, and almost sure you'll have done something you haven't realised
Just one thought - did you use silicon lube on the o rings in the solenoids? It really helps them seal, and its not easy spotting a leak inside one of them

nothing like a good set of airbags to play with
plit in the pump hose won't help your compressor's life expectency, but shouldn't be causing the problem you have I don't think, I would've expected the NRVs to stop air going back out of the system to the compressor

perhaps not enough air going in no presure to come out of the block or am i just wishfull thinking

Sounds a reasonable assumption, but I'm not the one to say for sure. Fix the split and see what happens I guess
Have you tried running it with the door open to see if the compressor turns itself off after 8-10 mins? at least that would tell you if its the storage side that has a problem.
Don't run it for too long though, otherwise you'll be replacing the compressor for sure. Have you done Wammers' compressor test?

It has no hope if the blue hose is split.couldnt do it mate love the airbags to much just not its friend at moment
The valve block is easy as long as you note what goes where and put it back together correctly. Photo's are the easiest way as you go.
