Thread: EAS, compressor almost constant running

Superquag, i will try that for sure.
BUT have just got it back home from the Mechanics they reset the idle slightly ,changed oil/filter (500k on new motor) & investigated HEVAC & EAS.

It appears the Right hand blend motor is stuffed , so really need to do all three if it's coming apart, they gave me a verbal quote ( & i like these guys) but think i may be spending a weekend on my knees swearing sometime soon.

they re-calibrated the Access/Standard height settings to normal, lifting Extended by approx. 54mm, all other diagnostic checks were okay.
SO it appears the problem with Compressor running is possibly one of the Non Return Valves within the valve block being stuffed. they have a new EAS Valve block to change over as a diagnostic solution , so that will be the next step. if that works looks like i'll be sourcing a new valve block as those three little buggers are not available as a replaceable part. i haven't heard of any solutions for those either.

talking to a mate today, he knows a bloke that's got/had a really neat Series II short wheel base, ......aaaah! the simple life !

so, once more pull it out,
put a relatively new Driver unit on
opened up the NRV end, cleaned everything & made sure they were all in alignment as i closed it down, torqued the bolts to a slightly higher setting,
opened up the diaphgram end & replaced the original diaphragm (which on close inspection still appeared okay) with a new orange one, torqued bolts down to a sligthly higher setting
pulled both exhaust solenoids off (both ends of top row) & cleaned again thoroughly, replaced one thin o-ring on outside of shaft which appeared damaged (duh! it was new) put back together with no grease.
re-installed .....it's behaving perfectly now as is the Compressor, moving between all settings freely as it was designed to do.
ran it for 45min on the highway tonight each way (hope i didn't get a ticket), with a 30-40 min stint in 4x4 extended over rough ground in between hgwy runs.
these things a fricking unbelievably good on & off road when the EAS behaves.
also looks like the Mark Adams Tornado chips have settled because in Manual & particularly in Sport mode this thing gets into it.
i can hand it back to the cook now (maybe) & keep her happy.
thanks everyone for your help much appreciated.

Hi Tasi

It sounds like it's going to be hard going handing the keys back to SHMBO
