No idea how fast it should fill but what pressure did it get up to?

It was easy for me cos I was using a 4 post lift but unless you're very very skinny I doubt you'd get under it. Maybe jacking it up and using axle stands is an option.

Mine frequently over heated when chasing a wiring fault and re calibrating. But agreed it could also be weak.

Had that go on mine and a slight wake up call from a small hammer got it going enough to get me to the local indi garage who fortunately had one in stock along with a spare ramp for me to chuck it on.

@Varks74 Just a thought. Have you tried swapping the fibers over on the display in case they have accidentally been switched round?

Hospital rang yesterday to say all my test results are fine even blood test cancer count low. So as a reward took the old gal for a spin onto the Pennines and called for a spot of pub lunch. :) :)

Piece of cake once you've got the body off :) Not too difficult but depending which ones they need to be tightened with them at normal road height.

My guess is they're the heights the car estimates for each corner given sensor voltages and once you input the true values it adds or subtracts that figure to give the correct height.

If you lift the boot floor it may cool down a little quicker.

Reservoir pressure is a little low but that should go back up again. Compressor may have shut down due to temperature but should restart when it's cooled down. I don't think those heights matter too much. Have you re measured each corner after...

Guessing it tells you to measure to the bottom of the rim in which case you would need to subtract 25mm ish.

Did you put the measured values in from the wheel centers to the arch for each corner? The rim size would only matter if your tool tells you to measure from the rim.

I'm no eggspurt on these beasts, just read the manual a few times and being an engineer for over 40 years gives you a certain perspective when tracing faults.

Pretty sure they all need power to pass the light through. The light only goes in one direction in a loop so if it's going to the screen but not out (unless bypassed) then that has to be the problem. There is something in the manual that says new...

With my diag tool you enter the measured values and the car works out the rest so the chart is just for reference. Unless you fiddle the measured values to compensate of course.

Can't check at the moment cos my height chart is in the garage and it's dark outside lol. But from memory you need to be looking at 495 mm wheel centre to bottom of arch front and 485 mm wheel centre to arch rear , wheel size doesn't matter.

You need to calibrate the suspension. The height sensors are a variable resistor so the car needs some reference points to level up. Once you've inputted the actual heights the ECU should take care of the rest.

Slowly getting there

The size of the wheel won't change the distance between the arch and the hub centre?

I take it you have the compressor running now?

Alternatively connect a pressure gauge either to the pump output, or in place of the sensor. Then run the pump & see what you get.

It's more likely to be a worn pump than the pressure sensor. As you said the pressure rose but not enough.

In good condition a Wabco should easily do 160-180psi. From the docs I posted above:

Well think its fubarred will get one tomoz and retest

Will check in a min

Check fuse 18 in the rear fuse box

Cheers for all your help buddy, i will see how i get on and will let you know if its a happy face or sad face lol

According to the diagram the amp to the screen is bi-directional so yes maybe the amp is not turning the screen on. If indeed it is supposed to but I have no idea on that one.

Does the screen show any of the other functions like suspension or settings or is it completely dead? I had my screen go off once when I first got it but it came back after ignition off and on again.

just re-read your reply, yes, if i loop the screen, then i get signal to the rear, i might just put the old Amp back in, as i wasn't sure if the amp is also hard wired to the screen, so if it's faulty maybe it's not allowing the optical signal...
