Hello,
I just bought a '93 MK VIII with a dead air pump and alternator. Rebuilt alternator, bought new pump from Arnott. On my previous Mark, I put on coil springs. I want this one to stay air ride. Car was flat on bump stops in my driveway. I changed the air pump. Air pump runs until the relay shuts it off (about 90 seconds)but the car doesn't raise up. No hissing, no noise, just air pump running. Should I jack the car up before trying to run the pump? The Ford manual recommends using an electronic tool to air up a specific bag, but my whole system is deflated? Anyone have any suggestions?
