P38 Paul

Hi Filip, I replaced the ECU in March this year under the the post OBD socket, no power. By P38 Paul, March 8 . Surely it cant be that again could it?

There are a few faults logged on the Nanocom which I presume are from the none triggering compressor, they all come up as "invalid fault code".

Yes, I have the cable that connects to the Nanocom.

Hi Fridge, the compressor is intermittent, when it doesn't run there is no voltage across the relay coil terminals, when it decides to run I have got 14v across the coil, its got to be whatever triggers the relay that is at fault but what am I looking for or where am I supposed to be looking? PS, The black/purple wire from the compressor is grounded all of the time.

I have just tried two more compressors & none of them are working until the relay is bridged, one of the compressors was removed from my car working two years ago just needing a new piston ring so I think that rules out a compressors being at fault.

Hi Fridge, you are talking to a complete idiot here, the only thing I can say at the moment is that I have tried multiple relays so I think I can rule the relay out.

A quick update, I bridged the compressor last night & when it started lifting I swapped the bridge wire for the relay & it kept running to full pressure then cut out as it should, went to the car this morning & its not working again.

Hi all, I have a EAS compressor that doesn't run unless I bridge the relay terminals, where do I start looking for the fault to get it working as it should?

Hi Snagger, I have a decent set of ramps & chocks so I recon I'm going to have a go at this job myself.

Hi Geoff, I was hoping that I can get the viscous off without having to take the transfer box out, I had a look underneath yesterday and recon with the front prop out of the way I should be able to undo the viscous casing and swap it over.

Thankyou for your input geoffbeaumont for your valuable input.

Thanks Bowie69, you're a star.

Is this a difficult job to do on the floor with no ramp?

Hi Bowie69, thats great info thankyou, do you think that the car is still ok to drive everyday without doing the repair or will it cause more damage in the long run?

Hi everyone, I have a new problem with the car juddering at low speed, it happens when I am close to full lock in both forward & reverse at low speed (5mph). in most cases it try's to do small wheel spins as if the diffs are not working & the diffs locked, it still drives fine in a straight line (normal driving). Does anybody what's going on with it or experienced anything like this before?
