| ANOTHER UPDATE*HELP! Battery disconnected-still dropping. |
|
My front end has been dropping, so I disconnected the battery yesterday (while in normal height) and both sides at the front have dropped 3 cm overnight.
So whats the next step? What does that indicate?
Thanks

Not with the battery disconnected. It’s a leak of some sorts. Get the soapy water out.

Not sure where to spray the soapy water 
I thought it might be front valve block?

Whats the score if it DOESNT drop with the battery disconnected?
While it dropped 2 cm (it is 2 and not 3 like I said before) overnight, it hasnt dropped anynore today, whereas before, when the battery was connected, it continued to drop.

Battery disconnected means it has to be a leak ... no electrowizardy deciding to level the car.

Thanks.
But it kept going down when the battery WAS connected, whereas now its NOT connected, its only dropped a bit and then stopped!

so ... my logic is (and happy to be ridiculed if i'm wrong !! ) it has a leak and when battery is connected, the sensors tell car to level to lowest point. otherwise, it just leaks a bit and not all corners drop to same degree. those that drop the most are most likely places it's leaked at. .

Latest: I replaced the front valve block, but its still dropping on the front right hand side.
Any help with what next is appreciated!
