How do you know if you're compressor is on its way out?

If you are seeing 16 Bar when the compressor is running, then there is nothing wrong with your compressor. It’s working to spec (<8 Bar seems to be when codes become more regular, eg overtemp, implausible pressure signal, low ride height etc). When the compressor shuts off, the pressure in the supply/exhaust line will naturally bleed off via the non-return valve and exhaust solenoids located within the compressor assembly. At that time the sensor is only measuring the pressure in the supply/exhaust line from the compressor, nothing else. This residual pressure reading is pretty much irrelevant and has no bearing at all on system performance.
