Air suspension

My compressor failed so I have fitted a new one.
The old compressor had burnt out it had got very hot and melted the pipes. Just fitted new compressor all works ok BUT it runs all the time thus gets very hot I don't want to burn £240 out. Can't find any air leaks Iam now thinking it could be a faulty reservoir control valve.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Maybe the relay has welded up and hence compressor runs all the time?

Relay is dirt cheap and should be replaced any time you replace the compressor.

You can take out the relay for the heated seats as a temporary measure and use that one temporarily. Thumbs Up Bodsys Brake Bible

Yes it's relay 7

Pic from Wiggs gallery. Relay should be where his finger is. Just remove the one beneath it and use that one instead. Heated windscreen won't work though but at least it'll prove the problem with the relay. Thumbs Up

Is there a software update to stop the compressors running so much?

Or have I made that bit up? Thumbs Up 2014 D4 XS
