    In that case, look at the live data for clues on what the suspension is doing. If the pump runs, check the pressure switch to see if it fills the tank. If I remember correctly it should be about 180psi. Then see if the ECU is opening valves...

    Also check "RAVE All Models" which contains detailed description of the L322 EAS. Autel MaxiSys needs to be >> V3.10 to cover the L322 EAS.

    As with any car, look at the MOT history. Same advisories showing year after year, generally show the owners haven't bothered to fix them until they become failures. Service history with receipts for any work done is good.

    Any leaks will cause issues because the system needs to be under pressure (about 10-15psi) to prevent the coolant boiling.

    Leak off test results after 1min. I'm assuming the containers are 100ml, so number 2 is 85ml after 1min. The other three about 30-40ml ??
