Xantia MK II - When to change the accumulator sphere

Unread post by lancia58 »

Hi

I guess this has been discussed many time before. At current the time duration between two ticks of the pressure regulator is 40 seconds, should I replace the accumulator sphere ?

Thanks

No, it just puts a bit more pressure on the system, at 40 secs I'd say you're fine for a bit. Might be nailed to the wall though by someone?

Agreed - 40s is fine.

Yes another one for 40s being ok. Where are people getting spheres now? Am I right in thinking the IFHS supplier have ceased trading?
