eas problem AGAIN :)

sorry just read your location!!

so the right side (our drivers side), you have a sensor at the front that is sat right next to the exhaust, my bet is that the heat sheild has gone and you height sensor is damaged, that height sensor is telling computer lies!
change the height sensor and recalibrate the system. should sort it

what about the rear on that site ??

ladyranger · Dec 11, 2010

yeah swap from left to right it may fix the problem if it's worn or it will start sagging the other side.

i will give it a shot

thanks mate

i left it in hi the night over . and this morning it is lover on the front right wheel .

is it a comp of a bad valve block an a bag right front height sensor ???

the correct way to test a sensor is to remove it and put a multimeter on it. as you move the sensor through its arc of movement the reading should be linear. if the reading is not changing smoothly and is jumping then the sensor is bad and needs to be replaced. changing from side to side only works sometimes. just reverse the arms on the sensor and test with the multimeter if it is smooth on this side. note that swapping sensors from side to side is only possible on the front not the rear.

from what you say, front right drooping, it is possible that the airline has a leak. often this can happen beneath the battery tray. you need to make sure you can see the entire airline from valve block to the airbag and test it for leaks. if you are certain there is no leak in the airline or the bag then, logically, you have a problem in the valve block. this can be overhauled and you can get the kit either from Holland or from Rover Renovations in the US.

If the compressor is coming on all the time after you fixed it but it was not doing that before, then it could be that you made a mistake. Try taking it apart and doing it again. Once you are certain the pneumatic side of the system is ok then you are left with the electrical side. This is the pressure switch, overheat cut-out switch, driver pack, EAS ECU and the valve block solenoids. Working systematically you should be able to find the fault.

I would advise not trying to fix things in a random manner until you are certain what the faults are. That is the fastest route to giving up and ordering a set of coils!

i have tested the right sensor today and it work´s great

but i thing that i have to test them all .....

i have also ordered a o ring kit for the valve block .

tomorrow i will test the air line to the right front wheel .....

It's all gueswork if you don't read the fault codes.

Do you have the RSW solutions software? If so does it synch, do you get "Good Idle" can you read the heights?

i can do it all but there in one wheel i cant get calibrated the left back..

i have had a fault yesterday that said (RL valve stuck closed)

i am thinking that it is the sensor on the left rear wheel there is bad ..

am i right ???

Well if it said RL valve stuck closed, that is what I would look at, could be the driver pack or bad connections in the EAS box. No harm in checking the height sensor, but if that was faulty I would expect a sensor fault to be recorded.

could it bee a leak in the valve block ?? i have only had that fail ones an i still about 5 cm of at left back wheel . it helped a bit today when i took it of the car and moved it a bit around .

When i see XX valve stuck closed, i highly suspect a leak on that corner.
It can be spring, pipe or valve block leaking at the o-ring (external or internal).

Bad height sensors do not act this way.

great then it must bee the valve block that is the only thing i haven´t touch

will do that this weekend .....

Yep

it must be that or a melted air pipe although it's rare

i have bin all the all pipes through

I am going to rebuild the valve block in the weekend

sarstad · Dec 18, 2010

problem fixed

i have rebuild the hole valve block and changed the RL height sensor

the valve block had a internal leak and the height sensor was somehow broken ..

eas problem AGAIN :)
