DRC versus pot hole
Re: DRC versus pot hole
Very interesting
Presumably this has now left the system with a connection point you can access - so could have a static gauge fitted to allow you to periodically check system pressure at rest??
And we need to know what the connection kit consists of and where you sourced etc - oh and where we could hire a pump etc. ie a full "How to repressurise your DRC write up (with photo's!!
Then all us DRC boys will be quietly smiling again......

Re: DRC versus pot hole
some extra info
Never left a test point in but not a bad idea Dave.
Quick Coupling from Ebay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400272166530? ... 1497.l2649
This has both male and female ends so can be connected at any point in the DRC. There are connections at all 4 shocks and at the 2 accumulators. I charged the system from the rear accum connetions at accum only which worked really well.
If there was air in the system it would be easy enough to purge I would think, as there are plenty of connections. See drawing
Used an Enerpak pump from work and a small test gauge to read the low scale
I anyone needs to borrow the fittings let me know (pump lives at work though......)
Will upload more snaps from work as this computer is

Re: DRC versus pot hole
Good info, thanks. There is info on the RS4 and RS6 in that pdf.
Could it be interesting to develop a decent DIY DRC testing & refill kit? If neastev can do it, then why not?

Re: DRC versus pot hole
If I get the time I am tempted to whore the entire lot and keep it as an archive. I have a ton of web hosting servers online in Data centres that I could upload these to for others to get at if that site ever dies.

Re: DRC versus pot hole
C8 RS6?! Interesting!
@footlong: I am HTTracking the interesting stuff, but if you want to hoard it all, then that sounds good to me. You would be doing the community a favour.
What is this site? IP lookup shows somewhere in Bulgaria? Bam, got any ideas?
