    • @jonsworkshop
      @jonsworkshop 8 годин тому

      Hi, I am no expert or mechanic, but my gut feel is yes. Either the compressor is running overtime due to a leak somewhere meaning it is drawing more moisture in, or, you live in a very humid environment and the air drying part of the compressor isn't working properly, these are just guesses though.

    Hi Jon, just bought one of these 21/11/2024 compressors and they’ve sorted the wheels now on this compressor, also the cable length is slightly longer now as well, so to be fair to Hyundai they are listening. Also which I find handy, the drain valve at the bottom of the tank, now has a small tap attached, which as I say, makes it a bit easier than unscrewing the knurled screw. WELL DONE HYUNDAI!!

    Great video. Thank you. I just had this happen on my F02. Had a mechanic try and sort it. An auto electrician look at it. Neither had a clue. Told me to go to BMW. Obviously didn’t do that because I found your video. Just a shame they now locate this under the car so access isn’t easy without a ramp but straightforward once you gain access to it.

    I've made up a version that fits my Colchester lathe compound slide so I can bore the precise internal angles for various types of microwave/mmWave feedhorns without having to do loads of trig. That version has paired holes on the back face and magnets and holes on the front face to hold a 10 mm parallel for me to indicate against. The datum is at one end rather than in the middle, but otherwise it's the same idea.

    It seems strange to me that so many comments, below, say that this is a great idea and have downloaded the plans and yet couldn't put out for a measely couple of dollars for all the work Jon did for us. These plans are easily worth $10- or $15-. Come on everyone. A couple of dollars is nothing and, if you use the $ Thanks button, it takes about 30 seconds.

  • @stragenmitsuko
    @stragenmitsuko Місяць тому

    There's no need to do the math for the end angle . In your example : Use 15° for start and 360+15° for end angles . Then set the nr of holes to 8+1 . The dro will then do the math for you .

    • @jonsworkshop
      @jonsworkshop Місяць тому

      Agreed, this is a shortcut way to do it for simple hole patterns. I was demonstrating the correct and conventional way to do it. When dealing with complex multi angle and non even spaced holes, adding 1 to the pattern number invariably ends up in errors being made as it becomes hard to track. If you do the maths correctly as I demonstrated, you can work straight off the drawing which reduces the possibility of errors.

    I really like the style of Ram/Hydraulic Pump that they use. I also Like that it has the Pressure gauge. I have the Harbor Freight 20 ton here in America and wish that they would adopt this style over the bottle jack. That being said I did upgrade my bottle jack to the Air over hydraulic option witch does help to reduce how many pumps I have to make so I guess there are trade offs. Anyways I'm sure you are going to love it just as I do mine!

      If the beads are damp, I would advise drying them while you have the thing apart. Microwave in a glass dish until they go back to light colour. Damp beads are a symptom of another problem, either your compressor is running far too much which could be an air leak, or you live in a very damp or humid environment.

I checked the beads but only briefly and I'm thinking they could be causing a further problem. The solenoid fix worked perfectly but since then the car drops over 3/4 days then when the compressor kicks in it blows the fuse. Think this points to an overworked compressor? I thought the slow dropping might be down to me not putting it all back together properly.
