What a ride - suspension nose-down

Yeah if you could get a scan after fresh battery has been coded in and all falts cleared to show what's remaining, might help narrow down

S-Line gave up, they don't have the full-blown dealer diag tool. So now it is at the dealership, please wish me good luck.

The dealership called. They said the BRAND NEW Wabco compressor is only putting out 1/10 the pressure it should. He gave me exact numbers but I can't remember them, I'm so angry right now.

I installed it in December. The car didn't go up. I took it to S-Line. They found a tiny leak in an air-line. But for the last month the compressor has sat un-plugged.

Now it's at the dealer and it's no good. NO WAY. It's as new as new can be.

What could be causing a false reading? Could a blocked input line to the compressor be the cause?

I think I'm going to put it on e-bay "as is" for 50% of book value. Or find someone to steal it and burn it.

With 1/10th the pressure the car is going nowhere up at all. Mine with about 50% output was only raising the car very slowly. I fitted a compressor repair kit and all is good again.

Being a new compressor, do you get a warranty in USA. I don't know where you sourced it from, but if EU then you usually get 12 months or 2 years. its possible the new compressor was DOA.

I think something is currently up with my air intake tube, not sure yet but when venting air out there is a strange sound that was not present before. I think mine has come loose, they are taking a look today as I don't want the compressor sucking in dirty air.
