[QUOTE="vwcanuck, post: 503566, member: 18709"] The hoses get dried out at the connections, so maybe this is where you are loosing pressure. The easiest and most inexpensive troubleshooting ... check behind the switch to see if there is a leak when pressurized. If yes, depressurize the system by releasing air from the valve (not the refill cap otherwise fluid goes everywhere), pull one hose off the back of switch at a time, trim a couple of centimeters, reattach, repeat for the other hoses, pressurize, give it a try. Do this at the bottle end too and hopefully that is the fix. How long should a properly functioning system keep pressure? [/QUOTE]
