Range Rover P38 # 066 - EAS Valve Block - Side Mirror - Blower Fan Regulator

Three projects will be attempted today:
- EAS valve block replacement (with new used supposed to be working unit)
- Side mirror stuck / limited movement
- Interior blower fan regulator replacement
Swapping over valve blocks I took one of the 8 mm collets from the original one and put on the new for the intake from the air dryer / filter. Swapped out all the o-rings with new ones except the 4mm and 8mm ones which I brought over from the original one since it's been rebuilt just a few months ago. I also brought over the exhaust silencer and then I had a lot of issues with the "hacked" outlet from the compressor to the air dryer / filter. I couldn't get the 8mm air line to seal to it, so I ended up gutting the adapter and putting in two 8mm o-rings and the collett into the adapter, fitting the air line and the screwing the adapter into the valve block with some plumbing tape. It seems to hold but I'll order up a few adapters to have in case.
STC2764 4mm o-rings (2 needed)
STC2766 6mm o-rings (10 needed)
STC2768 8mm o-rings (4 needed)
The threaded adapter seems to be a 1/4" thread (12.5mm) for 8mm air line. It's fitted with a 14mm wrench.
I did reprogram the EAS heights as it seemed to be a bit high up front at all times. Now it sits more even. Note to do this properly you should measure and/or use distance blocks to get it 100% accurate. Also note that once you mess with the heights your headlights will be off and need adjustment. Since I lowered the front of mine it's no big deal as I won't blind anyone.

STC4625 Clip frame for side mirror (one each side)
And then for the heating and AC system (HEVAC) I did manage to get a little bit done. Checked the codes, cleared them and checked which ones remains and are "valid".
It seems the control unit reports both side interior fans as having problems (regulation mode, which means controlling the fan speed). However I can hear the left one working fine. Adjusting the fan speed manually works, and also AUTO mode works. Not sure why yet. The right side however does not turn. And this is a fan I swapped with the black one. That fixed the black P38 but then of course left the green P38 with the bad fan.
A couple of months back I bought regulators that I thought would work. Swapped in one, but no go. Also tried the second one without any luck. So I had to button up everything and shop around for a new replacement fan instead.
I know the Citroen Xsara and XM is supposed to use the same fan, so I'll source one of those. Valeo part 698326.
A little note though. I haven't confirmed this but don't use RHD fans in a LHD car. I've seen reports that they rotate the other way and suck air out instead. Again, not confirmed. But keep it in mind.

Just an update on the air suspension (EAS) today. Wife reported car was still at normal ride height this morning, and that it is much more responsive up and down now too. We'll file this fix as a success. Hopefully the system holds up a few years now that most items are renewed.

Hi, what is the software you use for the eas height readings, what caused of the malfunction causing your p38 to have different leveling.
I also went through the same, fixes u did, I still have a problem with it rising up, i am still trying to fix it, the compressor works the system is pressurized and sometimes it doesn't rise up, it also deflates overnight, airbags are new, i made a full overhaul of the compressor, and valves o rings, changed the eas ecu, and still the problem persists.
Thanks for the very informative videos by the way, this the best channel regarding the p38's i have ever came across.

Hi and thanks for watching Joseph. I made a video (# 56) about the software and how to use it. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/481kvauuOug/w-d-xo.html I'll update the description and also link to the other air suspension videos I've made covering all the troubleshooting I've done. My first issue was two leaking air bags, then I rebuilt the valve block with new o-rings, diaphragm etc and fixed the air dryer to get filter debris out of the system. Finally replaced the air lines (temporarily) to eliminate a leak there. Using soap water in a spray bottle is very useful at the fittings to check for leaks. The only last logical item at fault had to be the valve block even though I rebuilt it twice. I'm guessing a solenoid or two are bad. I might get time to investigate that and do a video of how to determine if the solenoids work in the future now that I have a spare known bad block. In your case I might suspect the height sensors. It might not deflate overnight. It can be the autoleveling "feature" that makes the car lower itself over night. I made an EAS disable switch on the dash to fully disable the system when parked. Otherwise mine lowers itself on slight uneven surfaces (and I have those everywhere at home). Check out that video (# 56) and you can see how to find faults and test them. Thanks again for the kind words. Glad I can be of assistance to other owners out there. Good luck!

Thank you for the video. How I can know if solinoid or hight sensor not work fine. Any test

[@khndenmark]

Thank you for the video. I have a answer.... what do you think about your Hawk Eye tool? Is this the best tool or do you think there is a better one out there?

Hi. I do like it and it's been doing a great job. I wish the adapters wasn't so expensive (EAS and SRS) and that it could work without those adapters. Sometimes it would have been nice if you could have selected which live data to view instead of scrolling through a list. And it would have been nice if it worked on multiple cars and brands. I haven't tried others like Faultmate, Nanocom etc but I'm sure those probably could do more but also are much more expensive. So for the money I think it's probably the best. I might try out one of the Launch scanners that I've seen getting good reviews in the future: www.amazon.com/Launch-Automotive-Diagnostic-Bluetooth-Covering/dp/B071DQPN4N/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1536295984&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=x431+pros+mini&psc=1 Keep in mind the P38 diagnostic protocol isn't the standard OBD-II protocol so most scanners won't read it.

Hi im having issue getting cold air to come out of passenger side vents

[@WorkOnP38]

Hi, to be sure what the problem is you'll need to read the error codes from the HEVAC (heating, ventilation and AC). Check out my video # 16 to see which diagnositc unit I use: th-cam.com/video/9Cs6AnZvSBc/w-d-xo.html However the fault seems to indicate that the heater blend motors (determines how much cold or hot air) might be sticking or faulty. Check out video # 67 to learn more: th-cam.com/video/WAnALtzqYfM/w-d-xo.html Good luck and I hope you find out and manage to solve your issue. Thanks for watching!

Where did you purchase the blower regulators?

[@uwswalt]

Would love to know as well

Me too!
