Usually a leak at the tank they rust out, our d3 did exactly the same. Spray with soapy water to check the tank. |

Yeah I think it did, it also wore out the piston and barrel due to the pump running for to long trying to get gallery pressure.

Diagnosis is a logical step by step process.

……and rubber hardens up in cold weather hence possible air bladder leaks |

HI I did this and it stayed at the height I left it at 24hrs previous (it did not level before the test) ??? |

You now have 2 issues. The rear did not level out, and you have the fault “…filling too slowly”. I assume the suspension freezes and the pump stops running when you flag that error. This is usually due to an air leak in the vicinity of the pump….pump connections, centre valve block connections, reservoir connection, reservoir tank or centre valve block, or else the intake filter to the pump is blocked. Also, do not ignore the gallery pressure sensor which can go bad, albeit rare. And the compressor/pump itself which can progressively weaken over time. Once you get the pump running successfully, the mismatch in the rear height is a case of re-calibration or you have a bad height sensor, since it’s been tested and there seem to be no leaks in this vicinity.

So that when the pump has to start running again, it does not have to work against high pressure at startup. |

If you crack the Voss connector to the reservoir and there is no air escaping, then it’s either the reservoir itself that’s leaking or the centre valve block.
