QuestionHello Rob,
Thanks for your reply of 5th December re above.
Firstly, an aftermarket kit is available from Strutmaster.com for $299 plus shipping etc.
I used my car today and when I returned to it I noticed that now the rear end is much higher than the front(about 1 inch) instead of the rear previously being lower.
So can I assume by this that the compressor is working fine and that there are no air leaks, as the compressor has obviously now pumped the system up(although it is now too high!!) The "Service CCR System" light also came on again ( this is also the first time the Service CCR warning has come on in a few days).
Would you say the problem is more likely to be a sensor or a computer problem and is it relatively easy for a mechanic to check??
Many thanks
Andy
AnswerHi,
Glad you found out about the after market Strut master in the UK.
As far as your leveling issue now, this could be either a sensor on the rear axle or maybe even a problem in the body control module (BCM).
Have the sensor checked and also see if there are any diagnostic codes in the computer.
I have always had issues with these ride control units. They are plagued with problems. Yours is a great example. First its too low, then its too high. Compressors fail, commonly when defective, ignition switched power is replaced with constant battery power run the battery down. Shocks leak, sensors fail and the list goes on.
Personally a set of good springs or struts are the best way to go. The less working parts, the better.
Good Luck!
