yet another eas question

ok so since changing my rear bags the suspension has been perfect, but the last few times ive been out when i park up it starts dropping down like its self levelling. I went to tescos last night, i was only there 5 mins in a perfectly flat car park and when i came out it was in access mode.

Any ideas what it could be?

Your air has formed a successful escape committee.

Height sensor...if one gives up then it slowly works its way down, clean contacts or has failed completely....just a guess as a newbie!

P

Remove the EAS delay relay (tall one under the passenger seat) and see if one corner sinks on it's own.

ok ill do that tomorrow and report. im pretty sure i have no leaks though now but we will see!

well i was going to say the great escape

Ok so took the relay out last night. Looking out the window this morning it hasn't dropped. So is it a dodgy height sensor? How do I figure out which one? Cheers lads

Start off by cleaning the connectors to all the height sensors, then if it's still happening put it on diagnostics and look at the sensor readings, if one seems to be a long way out, suspect that one. It's also worth checking the height calibration as that can also affect it.

What's best to clean them with?

A good quality Electrical Contact Cleaner....

Aztec Chemicals Circuit is what I use (but I get it free from work shhhhh)
Maplins do cleaners...

DO NOT USE WD40

Although they do do a Contact/Electrical cleaner Electronic Contact Cleaner, Cleaner for Electronics

but only for a minute
can it be left with the self level relay out or does it need it for driving ect...
