Activa not rising

Post by Sl4yer »

Hi.

Strange behaviour from the Activa yesterday. After 100m or so, the STOP light came on. I soon noticed that the car felt hard, like it hadn't risen properly. Got it back home, and confirmed that the front hadn't risen. The pump could be heard ticking continuously. LHM was checked and OK, steering and brakes seemed fine. I gave the roll control linkages a tug to see if there was any response, and this seemed to correct things - the front soon came up like it should, and the suspension was able to build pressure.

I'm wondering if sticking roll control linkages could cause this - if the anti-roll system was continually trying to correct (due to being off-centre because the linkages were sticky), could this cause the suspension not to pressurise? I've cleaned them up today (they were pretty gunky) and the car seems great.

Thanks,

James
