check the o-rings in the valves and spring. then check the lines for any leaks. i replaced the o-rings in the 00 and its stopped leaking. |

sounds more like a pneumatic problem v. an electrical problem. Does it happen more when it is colder out? Most probably leaking around the spring, but could be anywhere. I would start at the spring and work your way forwards! Very soapy water (dish detergent) in a spray bottle is a great way to find leaks. Just soak it down and watch for bubbles. |

I have the same problem and i am going to check it out today. If i do find a leak in the hose lines somewhere and not in the o-rings is it easy to replace the hose or do i have to have the dealer do it. Nick |
