2012 Range Rover Air Reservoir Leak Fix

My 2012 L322 Range Rover was experiencing continuous air compressor run time upon every start up. This video shows how I found the leak at the air reservoir tank and resulting repair.

Awesome job! Been dealing with sane issue! Thank you.

[@sliceoflife1821]

Glad to hear it helped you out and hope your system remains leak-free!

Hello sir, did you only do the deflate reservior procedure on diag tool prior to removing the line?

[@sliceoflife1821]

Great question! At the time I performed the repair my diagnostic tool did not have that option, so I just bled it manually. No issues encountered. Best of luck!

@@sliceoflife1821 All done, it definitely seals up the tank now! Thank you for showing the leak! It was very helpful. After repairing, I feel more confident in troubleshooting the EAS. The system is quite basic and people take it more of an issue than it really is. I used a leftover spare a/c line o-ring from a box bought at autozone. By the looks of it, this o-ring seems like a common issue as L322s age based on how it is fitted.
The fitting has no indent for the o-ring to sit in. It literally seals between the head of the fitting and the tank. It's a bit baffling to me since o-rings are usually fitted inside the lines (e.g. a/c and power steering lines). As the o-ring gets deteriorated over time because of this design, the issue will arise again. I would give it no more than 5 years before this fitting starts feeling questionable again.

Way to go! Glad the video helped you out and I agree, this will probably require replacing again in 5 yrs. Great points on that o-ring fit! You just saved yourself tons of money and have more confidence for the future. Enjoy the high!
