Drivers seat air suspension keeps going down

[TedDuf]

Hi everyone,
We are currently sitting in a lovely little aire on Malaga beach - Area Malaga Beach - our first trip abroad - not in aire book but told about it locally.
All going well apart from the drivers air suspension keeps dropping.
Does anyone have any ideas please what the problem could be?
I keep it between 2 and 3 usually, but the last couple of days it has dropped to 1 within 24 hours.
The passenger one is fine and maintaining 2 1/2 .
Many thanks in anticipation

I guess the obvious answer is "it has a leak" finding it could be more difficult depending on access.

Thankyou, are the gubbings usually under the seat?

That would be my guess but what seat is it.

Not sure - we have a 6 berth 2004 Autocruise Starblazer 2.8 Peugeot Boxer cab if that helps??

If it’s like a truck seat it will be one of the very thin plastic pipes split or got trapped when the seats are going up and down.

Thankyou will take a look

Drivers seat air suspension? That's a bit posh innit on a 2004 Ducato? Must have been an option - nice!

Agree, it'll be a tiny leak in one of the tubes, difficult to spot, maybe some soapy water solution to find it. Fitters used to do anything to avoid trying to fix it on the coaches when I was a driver.

We've also stayed at that aire, on a local recommendation, smashing spot suited us exactly. Dog wasn't impressed with all the stones but the beach is only 50 metres away. It gets very busy in the season i.e. Jan - March, folk were queuing outside, waiting to get in whilst we were there - we luckily got the last spot when we arrived.

Ha ha oh yes very posh! Is it just for seat comfort? If so I’ll stop worrying quite so much .
Re the aire - yes, our dog hates the stones too bless him, but so near the beach that allows dogs is great
Hope to come back here in January - apparently if you email them and pay deposit they will hold you a place

Recently had the VB air suspension fitted, had exactly the same checked all the pipe fittings (2 at the guage and 1 at the bellow) with no sign of which is a very small leak like yourself.
Checked the bellow it’s self and that was leaking along the top where it seals, contacted VB sent them video/picture and they immediately sent me a new replacement bellow
Worth checking the bellow, use a gas leak detection spray much easier to see a leak.
