| Suspension Light Amber/red , Special programs off |
|
Hi all,
I have been intermittent problems with the suspension warning light coming on after a period of time, sometimes instant, sometimes when driving it goes Red for a few seconds then returns to amber. Sometimes it doesnt come on at all
This is often followed by the Special programs off message but not always.
Tonight on the way home , the light went red and the car dropped to the floor.
I serviced the compressor about 2 years ago, replacing the rings on the piston , the air filters and the little balls (cant remember what they are called).
So I started off by checking the wiring behind the nearside wheel arch cover , and although i haven't tested the wires they look in good order and are surprisingly clean considering where they decided to place them.
So i moved onto the compressor, I have stripped it down again the balls are all very wet , and the filter nearest the compressor end has rotted out and blown through, allowing the little balls to travel down and into the exhaust valve housing have blocked the pipe.
I think the compressor has had it now and needs replacing.
My question is , is the compressor likely to cause the special programs off to happen ?
Any assistance would be gratefully received, thanks.
