Just a quick update to what I just find out.

I spoke to best Master Technician I know from Audi and what this fella says about the pressure in that video seems to be a bit of b@l@x and is misleading.

16 bar he says=220PSI
Front tyre with max load=41PSI

That is a 5,5 times higher pressure than in a tyre !!!!!

Have you seen the air hoses on the the compressor side, even he said this would be unreal cos even on a new compressor you would be able to hold the pressure with your finger if you unclip the hose because what he says that there is an operating pressure of around 6bar when no leaks !!!!!

6bar seems to be more real than 16bar, but I couldn't really talk to him for long so I didn't asked all the questions and we didnt managed to check the pressure against any document which would give me something to compare my readings to.

Interesting

Manny's and Delboy's pressure readings should make it more clear, especially Manny's after recent fix.

Cheers boys
