Rear suspension -Rohill Citroen Relay 2.8

[Blueeyes55]

New to group and new to owning a motorhome.

I've just purchased a Citroen Relay 2.8 twin axle mini bus conversion. It has rear airbag suspension which drops down after about 3 days. When you turn the ignition the compressor kicks straight in and blows it up. My question is should it be dropping or is this a problem that needs sorting. It's not causing any problems and does rise but takes a few minutes after ignition started.

I have ne experience of Citroen air suspension but do have an Isuzu pick up with air suspension and a fleet of lorries that all have air suspension and I would say you have a leak somewhere which is probably not a critical problem at the minute but will probably only get worse
If you are mechanically minded and able to get under the van you may be able to hear where its leaking and it may only be a union that needs tightening up

I would concur with Grummyb. I have had two Motorhomes with rear air suspension and have never had a problem with them leaking air.

Mix a small amount of fairy liquid (tablespoon amount if average size bottle)and put in a spray bottle fill with water reverse van onto chocks to raise it up a bit higher, turn on engine and starting from the rear spray the pipes rubbers joints etc with the liquid if there is a leak , bubbles will form at it if you do find one ,repair it and keep checking all the system there might be more than one ,
Hopefully you will find one.
