SLS Won't Stop Cycling

Post by MSGGrunt »

I know, another SLS question. The car is a 1987 M6 and I want to keep it as original as possible, including a working SLS.

The pump will come on and raise the suspension but, then it "leaks" and or settles, until the pump comes back on again and raises the suspension once again. This cycle happens pretty quickly, as in every minute or so.

Where to start? Accumulators or the lowering solenoid real OEM part number 61311364116.

I believe, but not certain, that the accumulators have been replaced in the past but, no way to confirm this.

Grunt,

Most likely the bombs (accumulators)

Yup, new accumulators seems to have solved the constant cycling. Took more time putting the car on jack stands and removing the wheels than it did replacing the accumulators.
