Air compressor problem
Hi everybody
just replaced my hitachi compressor to a AMK one. this was because i got the yellow warning on my dash saying suspension fault. the car couldnt raise itself from the bottom and i thought obvious problem was the compressor.
so my mechanic replaced BUT it still doesnt work. Voltage and current is going to the compressor and relay but they can figure out why the heck the car isnt raising, the searced for fault codes but couldnt find any linked to the suspension
they found these however:
C1B00
U3000
B1081
B1082
P0562
U0300
B1A00
U2003
So now my attempt will be to hard reset the car and hope for the best.
Does anyone have any suggestion?????

Battery voltage?yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

The yellow triangle warning shows up about 5 seconds after the engine is started

Based on what you have posted it sounds like you have a major air leak. The compressor is struggling to keep up with the leak hence it overheats. That's really bad for the compressors life span!yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

The problem is that the compressor isn't even working.
And it's brand new.
I get the fault code directly when engine I started.
Could it be the center valve block.
The front is replaced this summer

No. You posted earlier the old compressor is now behaving as badly as the new one. This leads me to think its installed incorrectly?yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

It's installed correctly since I got a chance to inspect it myself.
The new compressor an amk instead of hitachi.
Could it be that the rear valve block I bad.
Since its totally saggy in the rear and almost saggy in the front.
And everytime i open the car with the key fob I hear a weird notice from the rear like a valve sort off releases gas

It's possible that coincidentally you have a major valve block failure as well but it would be unusual. In any case there should be fault codes to support that theory, but then there should be fault codes for whatever is happening generally with the suspension. My feeling based on your post is that there is a major air leak somewhere!yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

I agree with above.
Major air leak and I'm gonna order a rear valve block and center valve block.
The front valve block is replaced and tested for leak when I installed it myself.
This is is only getting more expensive lol.
I seriously can't think of anything else.

Well check it first!! There's no point firing the parts cannon without confirming the fault. If there's a major leak the suspension will not be able to rise, and it should be very easy to locate the cause as there will be air gushing out of it!yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

I will check but don't know how since both the front and rear suspension are at the bottom....

I went out and checked the rear valve block and rear dampers, sprayed som water and soap and couldnt find any leaks, but then again the car is at the absolute bottom.
I could hear the compressor working for a couple of seconds before the fault came up on the dash, im almost sure its a leak and im suspecting the center valveblock.
i have tested the fuses and they are alright. all of them.

Just a quick question
Does the air compressor send air to the air tank or the dampers first
