Thread: EAS, compressor almost constant running

Mate, mine does a similar thing when you start the car the compressor runs for about a minute then shuts off for about 15 seconds then starts up again runs for a further 30 seconds then shuts off again and does this cycle over about 4 to 5 times then shuts off and settles down. I've checked high and low, sprayed just about anything the that bubbles all over the entire air system and cannot find a a leak anywhere. In the morning the springs raise instantly with no delay, plenty of pressure in the tank, no faults show up on the dash or the eas kicker, the suspension simply does everything it should, even drove like this all the way to cape York and back a 9000 km round trip and still behaves the same. I've come to the conclusion that this behaviour is the norm. The only other time compressor kicks in again is after the car has lowered and raised again. I'm guessing its the thin air gauge line not sending enough pressure back to keep the comp turned off for the first few cycles.

Could still be a small air leak. I had to replace one of my air lines. It had rubbed through in a place that was not easy to find . Could only be found after pulling out air line

Mine is similar when cold. As redandy says - it'll kick in and out for the first 5mins then it won't run at all until I change settings. Car raises quickly when cold. Mine is left in high every other week and is still sitting there when I return home. No leaks in my system!

It does seem like it is a RR 'thing'. My LSE behaves similarly and it has a different air pump to the P38.

it's the same behaviour red, but, the problem is this thing doesn't settle down, wether it's a trip into town (10-15 min) or a trip on the highway.
no faults show up (have a EAS Kicker) has good air pressure when built up. should be enough to allow some changes in height before compressor kicks back in. all settings are within 1cm of each other.
could it be something electronic within the computer causing this rather than 'o' rings valves & line leakages.
it's ****ing me off & what's more it's annoying the missus..........we don't want that now do we

btw. had all the front steering done on Thursday, ball joints tie rods etc. it steers 'beeyoutifull' now

Hi Mate

Have you replaced RL7 in the fuse box? If not that may fix your HEVAC "book symbol" You need a 40amp normally open DIODE protected relay. Hella make one, #3053, but i had to cut the built in mounting tab off.

Ten bucks and the "book symbol" has gone.

I have actually replaced all my relays, since they are all pretty aged by now!

Did you do the front end yourself? I know the feeling once all the parts are replaced! You wonder how you ever drove with the sloppy steering

thanks muchly Steve, have tried that. couldn't get the Hella one (btw part # is 3053H) got a Narva one as an alternative part # 68000BL.
got a feeling it may be Blend motors stuck, anyway first things first, sort this compressor running .
it pumps all the way up to 1,000 Kpa, but still wants to run constantly shuts down for 5-10 seconds then runs for up to a minute, had a look before starting it today & it was down @ 100 Kpa .
