Suspension problems help required
Hi to all who read this.
I have another issue with the air suspension on my my06 disco 3.
Its currently sat on its bump stops and wont raise.
The switch on the centre console is showing the car as in off road mode, I have fault code C1 A20 64 - pressure increases too slowly when filling reservoir.
I've checked all fuses and relays and the wiring plugs in the nsf wheel arch all good.
When I clear the fault code the compressor runs for between 10secs to over a minute, the gallery pressure raises from 13.1psi to over 100psi before the compressor stops and the bong and amber light reappear, the car makes no effort to raise during this time, any help or thoughts much appreciated.
Would a replacement compressor be the route to go - just a thought.

You could try cleaning the dryer, and replacing the desiccant before you splash out on a new compressor.Richard

Hi, I did rebuild the compressor 3 years ago and replaced the dryer end cap and crystals, so its probably time to bite the bullet and try new.
