The ML went in to the indy today for a A service. All good except for I now have a split hose on the airline of the airmatic system.
Haven't long since replaced the second air compressor. It has been caused by one of the lines chaffing against something and has slight split, obviously now the compressor is working harder to compensate for this leak.
Indy advised there is a repair kit for such circumstances. Have contacted the dealer and waiting for a call back. I need this doing within the next few days I we have a camping trip to Cornwall planned (approx 400 miles drive for us) next week.
It appears pretty straight forward, cut out the offending/damaged section and renew using same tube/hose with straight union connectors.
If I tackle this myself, would it need re calibrating on Star?
Can I just use the same type/diameter of hose with connectors or any other suggestions? The repair kit comes in about 2foot lengths with couplings/unions attached which will create more work trying to route it, as I only need about 6" replacing.
Repair kit:
Could I use the same type of hose and something like these unions:
