Noisey are compressor

Hi

The compressor for rear suspension is sometimes noisey

It sounds like the mounts are loose

I've checked the 3 rubber mounts they are fine

A few das it'll be fine then then for a days it'll b noisey

Is ther possibly a relief valve or something that is jammed

Thanks

Nic

for the beginning remove the LH tail lamp and there's the filter, wash the foam and the felt, let them dry well then before you refit them give a short squirt of WD40 deep into the intake hose...it might cure things for a while

Bugger that, I thought all these air systems were supposed to be oil free?

maybe they are but i've been doing this wd40 and filter cleaning trick with the compressor once a year since i bought the car(8 years ago... i replaced the filter with new then) and the compressor is the original one and still going strong and silent... in the end it's just a pump and a bit of lubrication can't hurt
