SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR IN CAPE TOWN

Hi all,
I have a suspected failed suspension compressor.
It seems to cut out rather quickly with the typical error message and amber light on the dash.
Two issues:
1. It does not sag at any point - even overnight.
2. It cuts out and gives the error very quickly - perhaps 2 minutes after starting.

If anyone kjnows of a 2nd hand unit at least I can swap out as a process of elimination.

Thanks.

Hello Will

Have you opened up the covers and had a look for leaks? try this first, it is very common for the dryer to crack, and thats a cheap and easy replacement.
All the info you need is on this site

Thanks Anthony

No leaks but opened up the dryer and it was very clogged and wet. The moisture got past the dryer into the compresor which is starting to rust inside Shocked Censored !.

Anyway - all been put back together quickly whilst I think of the next POA.

Just take the granules out of the dryer and microwave for 10 minutes till they change colour, then reinstall.
Not sure what rust could be inside the system though :0
