Compressor sound blowing off.

Post by dobbor1 » Fri May 01, 2015 10:49 am

Every now and again when I switch the engine off, I hear a compressor like sound blowing off for a few seconds. Sounds like it's from the front of the car. Anyone know what this is please? Sounds like when a HGV presses and depresses the brake pedal and releases air after approx. 4 or 5 seconds.

Thanks

Just had a Google and it seems to be linked with the self levelling suspension.
