Had recurring EAS fault for some three weeks or so now . Very friendly and patient specialist ( Mark at MID Engineering just outside Wantage Oxfordshire, super guy who knows his onions, top bloke recommend him for any 4x4 landrover work..) dialled out faults on diagnostics for me three times now.
I changed pressure switch on advice of the diagnostics display ( "Pressure switch not changing state").... All Ok for 2 weeksagain, then ...EAS FAULT warning appears again tonight....bugger...Christmas tree lights all on, eas fault on display plus dreaded beeps and "do not exceed 35mph".
Suspected leak somewhere as I did note that height indicator lights were taking long time to stop flashing when driving home last couple of evenings prior to fault warning and the old bus seemed to be sagging to rear off side slightly. So I have checked with soapy water all airlines and air springs, also checked airlines into valve block same way and all OK in same manner...no bubbles or hissing.. then unplugged compressor and put 12volts through it direct..again all working OK, sucks finger when placed over inlet,THEN noticed big bubbles coming through air escape valve filter on side of valve block..VOILA and question!
Does this mean there is a valve/solenoid stuck open, thus preventing suspension inflating and therefore fault warning coming up???????? I think that is case but input would be greatly appreciated, and if any practical solutions.
Can I carefully take solenoid/Valve apart and clean and re assemble, if so which valve unit would I go for? OR Am I in for a new valve block ( Money is an issue just at present)? Or is there any other solution. I can wield a spanner and a screwdriver given some helpful hints/direction. If anybody could advise/help me out, you would have my gratitude and a beer or three on me if it works and you are ever in my neck of the woods. (Swindon/Oxfordshire border). Thanks in anticipation.
