Lurch Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hello, Because I'm an idiot I accidently let all the gas out of one of my coilovers. I rang kwik fit as they do nitrogen tyre inflation and asked if they would do it for me and he said he wont do it for me but I am more than welcome to use the machine myself. The question is... can I simply pump it full of nitrogen like a tyre and everything will be ok? Also what pressure? I was going to get a tyre pressure gauge and check the other side and match it? I am thinking it will all be fine but as I'm not sure I just wanted clarification from someone with half a brain. Thanks alot for any help.

Neil-NA Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I would speak to Sumo Power, messing around with shocks without the knowledge is a just asking for trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I can re gas the ones that need a hypodermic, and the ones that use a Schraeder valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Rang Sumo power today and they said they need to know the exact make of my coilovers and any part numbers that might be on them so that he can ring HKS to find out the exact amount of pressue thats needed. So hopefully he will ring back tomorrow and be able to do it for me. Went to kwik fit to put 50psi in just to stop it knocking but they didnt want to take the wheels off saying that my car was too low. Chris I would love to be able to take a trip to you for you to have a tinker with the geo also on my car, but you are a bit too far from me and I really haven't got the money to take that trip at the moment.
