Oh I see, you want to swap out the compressor...when you said comp I thought you meant computer!

Mine isn't the best to test the compressor on as I run LPG and the tank is where the spare wheel would be, and the Compressor has been moved so requires a bit more dismantling of the car to get to it as it now sits in a recess under the rear seat floor and is a fiddle to get at!

Take your compressor out and plug 12V into it and see if you can stop the air flow with your thumb, you should not be able to block the air and it should lift your thumb of the pipe on a cushion of air....

Sort it for him Ant, lad must be distraught if it has given him Alopecia. :D:D
 
loosened connector on air tank, and let air out. reset fault codes and started up, filled tank in about a min or so. drained tank & repeated. Proof if ever the tank holds air, the compressor works, and no leaks from comp and tank to valve block on side of tank
 
Should take longer than a minute to fully pressurise the air tank...even with a brand new compressor, I would have said at least 6-7 minutes...they are not high flow pumps, they just create pressure....

Not sure on the capacity of the tank...say 8 litres or so, and the size of the piston and throw of the crank in the compressor would suggest it can't move 8 litres of air at pressure in 1 minute!

As above, a bit of air in the tank is not the same as 150psi. Good pump say 6 minutes, weak pump 10 minutes, fecked pump 1 minute.

stand corrected, took 5 min or so this morning. I'm guessing the solenoid valve next to the tank is fubar'd

You could guess for ever, look at the thread by rs2000custom and get it on decent diagnostics with live data. The way you are going you could spend the cost of a Faultmate swapping bits.
