Transit tipper problem

Update on this.

 

VFS were very efficient and after a call yesterday morning a new lowering solenoid arrived today.

 

Fitted straight after work and the problem is exactly the same.

Tips strongly, only lowers in on/off bursts.

Also have to press OFF on the electronic control on the dash between raising and lowering, which I didn’t have to before.

Now also weeping hydraulic oil (slowly) out of the top of the valve.

 

What’s next?

 

Before I take it to someone who knows what they’re doing!

Have you tried lowering when there is weight on it? Does it come down ok then?

The thing is, if it was something physical like a blocked filter it wouldn’t return at all, would it?

Each down ‘cycle’ is at normal speed.

 

Like Dan says, maybe a poor connection somewhere, hence the on/off business?

 

A new solenoid loom assembley is about a tenner.

 

Next stop?
