One usual probe.
My regulator seems to go off about every 10 secs while idling.
I know this is too fast, but does this indicate the acc sphere is not completely
flat?
Is just a regasing in order?
Also what pressure should be inside?
Is is possible some lame garages fill it up with air istead of nitrogen?
Tnx.
XM acumulator sphere

Well going on from what ive read from this site, if its ticking more than every 30 seconds you need a new accumulator sphere, mine ticks every 20ish and ive got a new one in the boot ready to be fitted.
For the cheap cost of a new one i would just get a new one, not sure about the certainty of getting them re-gassed and i dont see the point really.

10 seconds would not indicate a completely flat sphere but its obviously on the way out, so changing it could forstall later problems.
As mezuk said, there is little point in having it regassed as a new one from GSF is only about £20.00 and they do a very good mail order service if you dont have one locally. Look up their website.
You've got a '98 have you? if its a manual diesel estate I'm jealous!
