Hi Guys, I have a Prado Grande 120. Currently in WA heading Nth with the rear suspension issues. sometimes works fine, sometimes not.
Been to Toyota to check if there are any codes. NONE ? Ask Toyota to check for leaks = NONE? $160 per hr for the worst diagnostics ever !!! Recommendations = NONE ??
Question, anyone know if the compressor runs while the car is in motion ? I am guessing that it does and concerned I may burn it out to keep the car self levelled while towing a van.
I have booked the car in to have the airbags replaced with genuine replacements at Carnarvon and have ordered air bag man "emergency" kit which is just a couple of valves to enable manual inflation if needed.
There is definitely a leak somewhere as the rear is levelled ( inflated) then the van hitched up and stopping for a cuppa ( engine off) the rear sags, start engine compressor runs, all self levelled good to go, run down the road all good, stop to sight see the rear sags and compressor runs again. With van attached and stopped at a rest stop the compressor will run 3x times in 10 minute period.
Am hoping that with air bags replaced the rear will stay inflated and compressor will only run once to inflate.
Question. - Is it possible to wire up a gadget that will let me know when the compressor runs? so I can measure the duty cycle of the compressor before and after air bag replacement.
Question - anyone fitted the air bag man emergency inflation valves kit?
Trying to keep the car standard.
Trying to complete Perth - Darwin - Sydney
Thanks
