If you wish to test the compressor you can un-plug it and put 12V directly onto the terminal that the large dia Red/ White cable goes onto and earth the brown cable terminal. Need a decent dia cable and you will get a few sparks as you touch the terminal. |

Tried it today and yes the compressor runs. Let it run for a while in short bursts so as not to burn it out but it didn't lift the suspension. it's as if its not man enough to pump it up. |

I know it's a pain but you really need the specific fault code to narrow the search otherwise it's a very long process of elimination.

Sounds like its not pressurising, if the compressor is running and you are getting airflow out of it then the air needs to go somewhere, it obviously isn't going into the reservoir or springs.

The garage didnt actually give me the fault code, the read out just said EAS reservior static when filling. |

First look in your EAS compressor at your dryer patrone, and also at your valve for the going out pressure, then change your reservoir-sensor RQH000130, (best price at island 4x4, 38,00 GBP + VAT), some guys in USA want 100 $ !!!!, clear the faults, and all becomes good... (of course your pipes, connections and struts must be 100%) L405 SDV8 2017 + Lancia Flavia Coupe 1964 + RRS L494 3.0 SDV6 + C220CDI Convertible 2021 |

Just a quick update, compressor still doing the job and no dreaded EAS errors. |
