Afternoon all.
I hate to add to the list of EAS threads but have an issue & would appreciate some advice before i go changing the airbags.
Yesterday i got the EAS FAULT pop up going down the M1 (approx 15 mins into journey). It went into standard height & stayed there for the remainder of our journey.
So i got back & plugged in Mr Datatek's supplied software to get 'RR VALVE STUCK CLOSED'. Cleared the fault & all was well. Reading up on this fault it seems to be related to a leak somewhere - at least that's what RSW advise.
I thought i'd better check things this morning so out came the soapy water spray. Having a good look round all airbags look to be fine with the exception of the OSR bag (which stands to reason given the fault). After about 5 mins i could see a small group of tiny bubbles forming, after wiping these away it would take another 5 mins to see any further bubbles forming. So i take it this is a very small leak. I should add i've never had issues with leaks before & it never drops after a few days stood & always raises as it should, compressor doesn't run excessively.
I also did Wammers check for a leak in the valve block - let pump run, switched off & checked the exhaust port for leaks but nothing.
What did concern me was the proximity of my Janspeed exhaust to this bag, just wondered if localised heat could cause the rubber to degrade quickly (the bags were replaced in 2009). Any thoughts on this?
Should i pull the EAS relay to check the drop on this corner, as mentioned though, the height doesn't drop (self level) over night
