Re: 2007 Mk4 Golf

The one coming controlling the left compressor. But a new relay is in with fixed soldering so it's working now.

Re: 2007 Mk4 Golf

Which relay was fried? I should have taken a good look at the wiring when i was there sunday, my bad. I also forgot to put wire sizes on my diagram...

Re: 2007 Mk4 Golf

well i think it was pretty bad because i fried a relay pretty good, i beleive that was due to a short near the relay. . there was alot less stress on the system after tj did it correctly. We also re did some grounds and that helped too. But im not entirely sure what is wrong with the compressors. when they were on they would run Extremely hot, and struggle to fill the tank.

thanks fizzo, ill let you know if i need anything.

Re: 2007 Mk4 Golf

Thanks, nothing is really *broken* just need some adjusting and such. I'll be there on Thursday.

Haha my bad, get it all dialed in!

Not sure how bad soldering would kill the compressors

Just what I was wondering, unless you shorted something together. Also Danny if you need a hand soldering, I used to solder professionally at my old job. Given you have a good soldering iron and some good rosin core solder, I can solder just about anything.

Re: 2007 Mk4 Golf

Not sure how bad soldering would kill the compressors, I would say there was probably something else going on with them if they are dead. Did you look at the check valves?

Re: 2007 Mk4 Golf

so tj and brent helped me fix my air ride today, took a while but we finally got it. both of my compressors ended up dying, my sh!tty soldering job basically fuc*ed em. so tj was nice enough to loan me a 444c untill i get mine rebuilt or replaced(may be under warranty still). for now i am running one compressor and one tank, and it works great. bags are working perfect and presets are also working fine. i still have 5 more presets to program if i want.... trolling ride heights?

Re: 2007 Mk4 Golf

Looks dope Danny! Get 'er all fixed before Thurs, I wanna see this thing! Also if you need a hand with anything, lemme know.

Re: 2007 Mk4 Golf

Hmm okay makes sense.

Re: 2007 Mk4 Golf

Calibration mode usually used more than 1 valve at a time, usually 4 valves are active at once. That extra few amps could push the amperage over the top. At least that is my initial thought on it, if a 100A fuse doesn't work then there is a problem in one of your wires that is shorting to ground somewhere

Re: 2007 Mk4 Golf

Okay yeah that's kinda what I thought too. I'll pick up some more fuses tonight and. See how it goes.

Is it weird that it's only blowing fuses when I try to calibrate the system though? I'm running manual right now and it seems fine.

Re: 2007 Mk4 Golf

Are you running the car when you try to calibrate the system? Even if you are running the car the amp draw is going to be pretty darn close to 80A with the compressors, valves and size of wire you have. I would swap it out to 100A and call it a day, running a 100A won't hurt the system at all, if a motor seizes a 100A will easily blow which is what you want

That's kind of what I was thinking. If you'd like to come over tonight Dan we can put my amp clamp on it and do some other checks as well.

Re: 2007 Mk4 Golf

the bags are working, but i am having a few issues. i can only run the bags using manual controls right now... im blowing the 80amp fuse coming from my main power line from my battery. whenever i try to calibrate the system, it starts and then blows the fuse shortly. im not sure what the problem is. any ideas bag gurus?

I believe Colin had a very similar problem with his setup when he first installed everything, might want to shoot him a message.

Re: 2007 Mk4 Golf

thanks guys!! yeah its a 2.0 and its slow, but i freaking love this car. going from a somewhat cheap set of coilovers to bags makes a huge difference on handling and comfort.

as for more modding, there will most likley be more to come. i decided i am not going to be picking up a second car (even though i still say i want everything). its probly the best decision for me right now.
