Morning all,
I've been a guest user on here for some time and, it's helped me out of a few tight spots with my money pit of an L322.
"mechanics" over here in my area are cowboys (the last time I went to one to replace an oil cooler, it took three months' to fix and broke a week late! turned out it had never been replaced at all but still charged as if it had).
So, I've had a steep learning curve to improve on my skills. So far I've replaced the turbo, transmission oil cooler, refurbished the cooling system, gearbox, air compressor, stepper motor (potentiometer now needs replacing though) and most recently replaced the discs and pads all round. My latest issue though has got me stumped, after trawling through this forum for the last two days I can't see to find the answer and am coming cap in hand for help.
I'll post the details in a sperate thread but, the crux of it is this, EAS wasn't working (compressor at fault), when the fault was cleared prior to fixing with diagnostics all worked fine. Compressor repaired and fault cleared the front right is randomly dropping down to the bumpstop instantaneously, bags have been checked at all levels for leaks and I can't find any, along with the valve blocks etc. It will sit all night at each level fine with no sagging but when I start to drive periodically the front will drop followed by the left (presumably due to the auto-levelling) No faults are being thrown up and I am at a loss now what it could be; my thought sare the ECU has had a wobble and the EAS needs recalibration?
