Hi everyone,
I recently faced a strange problem with a DMC-1. I responded to a call and when I got there the motor overload was tripped. We had very cold temperatures and the machine room got cold enough to go into viscosity control. Problem is, the valve is leaking in the up direction, so whenever the pump started to bypass and warm up the oil it would leak to the jack and push the car up out of leveling zone, kill the pump, level down and start again every 15 seconds or so. It did it for long enough to trip the overload. Has anyone experienced a valve leaking like that before? It holds perfectly in the down direction.
Seb
