After the air suspension saga this one has been the single most persistent, nagging, annoying issue with my 2009 Expert.
Every time it rains, you can guarantee that there are two or three long lines or water along the sliding door interior doorcard on both sides of the van, and a sizeable puddle at the bottom of the doors. If you open and then close the doors, you'll observe a veritable torrent of water gushing from the underside of the plastic "gutter" where the sliding part of the window slides into which will then flow down the doorcard to the bottom of the door.
I've tried all sorts of things to remedy this, from siliconing round the outer perimeter of the outside of the windows, to siliconing the sliding window shut, to installing "gutters" above the opening parts of the windows, to using a bike brake cable to "rod" the drainage channels in the windows. None of which have worked.
I've now had to remove the doorcards as they were completely rotten at the bottom, so I'd love to remedy this before I make some new doorcards for the van.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I switched my 2009 Expert to springs after blowing an air bag. I used springs that I bought from eBay that were listed as compatible, and they weren't terribly expensive. I also had to source a bump stop from my local Peugeot dealership, and these were a ridiculous sum of money (about £70 IIRC) for a palm sized piece of rubber. I then also had to delete the air suspension from the van ECU (via a programming cable that I also had to buy...), otherwise there was a persistent error on the dashboard and the air compressor would sporadically try to inflate airbags that were no longer present.
In summary, expensive, complicated and messy.
I do still have 2 spare airbags in the garage too, but I try to ignore those, along with all the programming kit that's cluttering up my office.
The springs work well though. Bouncy!
Does anyone know where the fuse for the windscreen washers is located on a 2009 Expert Teepee please?
The websites I've found suggest it's in the engine bay fusebox, but the diagrams that come up don't match the specific fusebox I have, which is a 9664706080.
Thank you!
Apologies if this has been asked 500 times before (I couldn't find anything by searching).
One of my rear suspension airbags on my 09 Expert recently failed, and dropped out the bottom of the van. I managed to limp the 20 metres home very slowly.
I've bought and installed a replacement bag, but it won't inflate. The rear suspension dashboard light is on permanently and the display is saying "suspension fault", or the French equivalent. Pressing the manual controls at the back of the van results in a single "beep" regardless of what I press. I've tried the topmost button to toggle the system on (including holding for 30 seconds) but get the same lone "beep". There's no noise or sign of activity from the compressor at all.
Any ideas?
If I give up, and replace with standard steel springs (a rather tempting idea at this point) does anyone have a link or a part number for me? As I understand it, I need 2 springs, and 2 spring seats.
Thank you in anticipation.
