Hi Guys,

Having trouble with my suspension again, usual story, won't come off the ground light flashes but nothing happens. I took off the inlet filter on the compressor and there was no suction. Took off the blue pipe and there was very little pressure coming out. Piston seal it is then, I thought, usually down to airbags being on there way out or gone.

So last night I replaced the seal to get it off the ground so i could take it to the garage to get the airbags replaced (All 4 being changed as we speak). Now, when I reconnected the compressor I had good pressure from the outlet and good suction on the inlet. Reconnected the airline and the suction was crap again, took it off, suction fine??

Any reason why the compressor would work fine right up until the point I connect the blue air line?

I also checked the exhaust filter at the back and no air is coming out so if I'm correct, his means the diaphragm is ok??

Check reed valves in compressor head. Sounds like exhaust is not sealing.
 
Thanks Wammers.

Just found another thread that you explained reed valves in, will check that this evening.

Ta much :)
 
Just took the compressor apart, half of one of the reeds has snapped off. Is this something i can buy separately or am i going to have to bite the bullet and get a new compressor?

I know of no one who stocks these parts. Try Symblise on Ebay he may have some hanging around. You could make one out of shimstock of a suitable thickness.
