[FONT="]Hi all,[/FONT]
[FONT="]Im still struggling with my eas compressor running almost continuously (but not burned out yet) as already mentioned in a previous thread.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Ive tested the line going into the tank with a pressure gauge. The result is: the pressure never goes over 105 psi. Accordingly to RAVE the pump switches on at 7.3 bar (roughly 105 psi) and stops at 9.5 -10 bar.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]So thats the reason why the compressor is always running. It runs and then there is a puff noise, air comes out from the exhaust filter and the compressor starts again.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Leaving the car at night I lose about 1-2 psi in 8 hours which I think is quite normal. The car doesnt drop.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]As Saint has suggested in my previous thread it could be NRV1 and Im quite confident it is.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]But wouldnt I lose more than 1-2 psi in 8 hours if NRV1 were leaking? Im quite confused.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Could it be that something in the block (NRV, solenoid or diaphragm) start leaking only above 105 psi? Like it cant maintain any higher pressure?[/FONT]
[FONT="]Ive ordered new o-rings and will strip the block once again. But I would like to have your opinion on this strange behavior.[/FONT]

[FONT="]Thank you for reading.[/FONT]
