My eas is working as it should be but there is an odd pump sort of noise around the drivers rear wheel alot of the time.
I'm assuming the pump is working more than it should. I had one airbag changed this summer as it sagged a bit but now it will drop onto its bump stops after 36 hrs stationary. It pumps up fine and as quickly as I recall it did.
So I'm assuming it I leave it its going to go wrong which I don't want.
So rebuild pump do you think? 94 LSE softdash so 94.5 MY
I'm not going to get the chance at the current outside temperature so does anyone have any recommendations around Swindon.
Most of the usual suspects seemed to have closed or moved.
Thanks

Never ever replace one airbag, if one is worn, the others will also be on their last legs, life expectancy is 7/8 years 80K miles. If other bags are leaking, that will be why the compressor is running too much.

The others were checked and deemed ok and it looks like they have been changed out of sequence in the past hence one needing doing but its a fair point all the same.
I suppose I could just have moved the "weak" point.

Need to get under it with a spray bottle of soapy water and look for bubbles. The pipe entry on the new bag should also be checked.
Hard to see if a back is perished sometimes as the wear is often hidden where the bag folds under.

Or the pump is not producing at full pressure so runs longer
