120 miles. yes, my car is back in getting a whole new DRC. The DRC failed, then I brought it in for repressurization or whatever BS they think they can do and it failed in 120 miles. I insisted they install a whole new system which they are doing. Should be done Monday or Tuesday.

MUST find all leaks before reconnecting new Central Valve.

Bobski

Does this apply if they are replacing the whole system?

SAF

I have had probably a dozen shocks leak on my car, which in turn leads to the pressure decreasing in the lines and the central valve cylinders having to be replaced. I'm on my third set of valves.

They need another company to manufacture a shock for this system. Why keep sending the same **** to the technicians? (unless they bought 5000 of them five years ago and they are hoping that the cars fade away before their supply runs out)

THAT is the part I find reprehensible about this whole cluster-#%&!.

Mike Aronis had a theory - incompatible metals (seal material vs. shock material)

SAF

Yeah I remember...around the seal wasn't it?

Dr.Aronis

forms a dielectric which results in current flow from dissimilar metals. Then corrosion results.

Mike

Basic mechanics of materials.

I'm no metals expert, but I know that boaters put zinc onto propeller shafts to prevent corrosion from dissimilar metals that interact. Or something like that!
