Sealer can actually cause a leak as it gums up the O rings.

Still showing EAS fault beeping etc, changed the pump and the block, anyone know what tube it is on the block for the f/o/s is? have to change that next, sat in it for 5 mins with the engine on, didn't seem to rise at all, maybe because the tank is empty should have waited longer? I dont know

Have you done the checks as outlined in my "How to" i said yesterday there is a logical progression to go through. You cannot start at the end a work towards the beginning. Go through the steps and eliminate things. Have you cleared the faults? I gave you a link yesterday LOOK AT IT.

No 4 green reset faults you have changed block and pump
About 10 minutes was your pump pumping think not with eas fault beeping
Yea I did follow it, and changed it all, put new O rings in, thats why Im going on the the next stage.... the pipes, its ****ing down right now, but 2morrow I will squirt some soapy water on that line to see if thats where the leak is, I think by looking at the How To, its the middle top solenoid, so it would be the (marked by a green sleeve on my pipe) the pipe just under that, then I can trace it....

thought it wasnt pumping at all thats why i mentiond resetting faults but your is pumping thats a start
Just a thought, if I detach the pipes, and air comes out of them, then the pump and the block are working ok? as its holding air? (but then I wont know id its 150psi I know) but it will give me a clue as to if air is going in or not wont it??

if any thing you need to check the tank is filling up
thought it wasnt pumping at all thats why i mentiond resetting faults but your is pumping thats a start
Yea im getting a vibration from the pump.... but will test to see if air is going in to the system 2morrow, I guess just because the pump is working dont mean to say its pumping air will it?? thats why I was thinking of pulling one of the pipes from the tank? then I know air is reaching it

Follow the instructions in my "How to" how to check the compressor and diaphragm valve, many bloody times does it need saying? If you have an hard fault compressor WILL NOT RUN. Clear the faults. Then do the checks.

A tall slim blonde looks fine, but does she have a STD. Did you check it for leaking with compressor running?

Life itself is an STD, we all die of it in the end
The block I just took out (old one) I have replaced the solenoid for the f/o/s changed all the O rings in it, (I may put it back on) do you think I should do ALL of them (solenoid) and put this block back??
I looked at the how to, it doesn't tell you how to check the diaphragm in the block, dow do I go about that?? (I changed it last year) when I looked at it, no holes or splits in is, and I smelt it for std, but no fish smell from it, after all its a diaphragm, so it has protection (or is that getting pregnant??)

It does .
remove exhaust outlet filter from valve block. White cylindrical screw in unit to rear of valve block. With compressor running place a finger over outlet. If air is escaping, either diaphragm has failed (common fail) or diaphragm solenoid valve (above exhaust port on block) has failed (very rare). If all checks out compressor is making good air and should inflate tank in five or six minutes.

Dopey you are a bloody character. The compressor will not run IF you have a hard fault. You have to clear that first. You can sit in the car all day nothing will happen if the compressor is not running. If the compressor is running there is a check in my "How to" to follow to make sure it is giving good air.

Never seen one fill an empty tank in 6 minutes, allow 10 or more

A good new or well refurbed compressor should fill the tank in 5 or 6 minutes with a door open. 8 to10 minutes to lift car to standard with door shut.
