This one rob? Air Suspension Field Recovery

if he has poor internet - it might need a printed copy taking out to run through.

Thats the one dude.................

try this mate, just copied it incase you have difficulty reading the page on your phone

to restore system pressure by turning the ignition on and shorting pins 1 (power feed to ECU from delay turnoff timer) and 8 (power line to compressor) of the EAS ECU connector C117. (Note: To avoid overpressurizing, you can also monitor pin 13 -- when it switches up to 12 volts you are up to pressure). After running the compressor for about 10 minutes, Ron turned off the ignition, reconnected the plug to the ECU and started the car, which rose majestically on the air suspension in spite of still indicating "Air Suspension Fault". Ron then switched off, unplugged the ECU connector (C117), and drove it to the mechanic. The car stayed up and drove normally for the entire journey.

Where in kirkcaldy are you?
Iv got wire and multimeter in the car if you want to try the bridge idea if not i could bring some blocks if you have anyhing to strap axle back down with and that might get you home

car jack will give gap between chassis to fit blocks..... if yu got 4 blocks that is?

I would love to help but wife is at work and I have the kids.

However if you live in Fife then Dial-a-tow recover local for £30.

Dial-a-Tow pm me if you need the number but it's on their web page.



I have used them before and they are fairly trustworthy.

Had broken up some pallets a while back and pretty sure I kept the blocks that give the gap on them.

sounds a good option, but decisions will need to be made soon, otherwise its going to be a long night......

Anyone had any contact with freelandermad via text? If he's go a poor signal he might be struggling to reply.

Guys thanks for all ur help... tried the bridge between 1 & 8 on the EAS ECU and compressor purrs away n seems to be drawing in air from the compressor filter but doesnt raise the motor up.... had it running since last post near enough.... weird how it says it should pressurise up the air to raise it but doesnt... mines is firmly on its ass the tyres are actually fouling the wheel arch liners at the rear and turning front wheels also catches on the mudflaps so i give up.... hopefully maybe during daylight hours someone might read the post n be in a better situ to help out...

tried it mate but no success

Have you tried jacking the chassis up and wedging something between axle and chassis?

no contact with freelandermad.

if he pms me his no - i ill forward it on to interested parties - or theirs to him.

i would say look for an air leak from the bags forward

reet folks - am orf for my beauty sleep.

pm Blue beasty if any developments - like tel numbers..



looks like the op has left

I would say the pump is f******d if its working and no pressure to tank

Can only presume from lack of contact and previous post he has another option to get home? My. Offer of help is available for a short while more then off to bed. Tomorrow I might even be heading that way in the afternoon.

I have freelandermads number if anyone can help.

Report this post anytime and I'll receive a notification and reply
