Thankful I slotted the top mount previously as it makes compressor removal a 10 minute job with a ratcheting spanner.

A leak so it has sucked in wet air, or you've had significant water ingress, that's the worst I've seen. Check for a crack between the supply line and the pressure lines in the cap, better yet replace with the alloy one if you haven't already.

Opened up the 270 awning I put on on Tuesday, sits quite low on the rack and the rear beams clear the tailgate nicely.
It's a 23zero falcon awning.

I think the high pressure out hose from the desiccant cap has been leaking. This would make the compressor struggle as it hits higher pressures and induce the slow to fill fault.

The cap is brand new upgraded version. I upgraded this a long time ago and got a new one in the latest desiccant kit.

The hose is probably showing it’s age a bit.

Is there a work-around to freshen up this hose without replacing?

I’ve tried to seat it in a slightly different position.

What’s the going retail Indy price for LCAs supply and fit?
