  Coach 513 Air Problems

Posted by: David and Teresa

Forum: Air Operated Systems and Leaks
- Replies (26)

Hello all! I have air leaks that, so far, I haven't been able to find. I watched the videos on Newell's air systems and found them very helpful in understanding how these systems are designed. I bought a leak detector, a few DOT compression fittings, and with bubble soap and lights, started checking all the connections mapping my system as I went.

In all the bays, left side and right, I didn't find any leaks. The front and rear 6-packs seemed fine. Inside, I found a small leak in a 1/4" push-in fitting in the break system under the dash. I replaced it with a compression fitting. I found a leak in the driver's chair, but the previous owner had a cut off valve installed. I closed it and the leak stopped. I still have the dash gauges to check as soon as I can figure out how to get to them. All the toilet connections are good. I have 3 air doors that I haven't got to to check.

I have not been able to get under the coach due to another issue with HWH that only allows the coach to get to travel height.

The results so far: the 120v pump comes on every 4.5 minutes. This seems like a sizable leak to me. Usually, it's been holding for about 45 minutes.

I turned off the 120v and turned on the 12v (which I never turn on). Sure enough, about 45lbs, the pump comes on, however, it's extremely noisy and the gauge doesn't change. I'm thinking the pump is gone. It's a little difficult to get to behind the Aqua Hot overflow tank.

My main question at this point is: Could a defective 12v pump cause the leak? Does anyone know a replacement model? What should I check next?

I guess this is a pre-sighting!  Anyone going to be in the infield for the 500?  It will be our first time (knock on wood - we tried but didn't make it last year).  We will be in the Geico Red somewhere around spot 337 starting Wednesday afternoon (going with a group including one other Newell, not sure of exact spot).  Please stop by for a beverage or a bite if you are in the area and feel free to bring an instrument if you play (my wife is a professional cellist focusing on blues/jazz/rock).

Another air leak under the front of the coach. Doesn't look like the fitting from under the dash that was recently repaired.

Is there a video on how to fix? Looks like I can unscrew, cut off a portion of the line and re-insert?

Thanks

  Buying an older Newell Coach

Forum: Discussion about what to consider on buying a used Newell
- Replies (2)

Is there anyone in the Tucson-Phoenix-Yuma that is good at inspecting the coach I am interested in? A couple years ago I purchased an MCI 102C3 from the Spanos family estate of Alex Spanos (Owner of the then San Diego Chargers) the bus had low miles and great exterior as it was housed indoor and professionally driven and serviced. Unfortunately, I did not have the coach inspected and I ended up having mounds of trouble with the coach. This time around I want to be far more thorough in my pre-purchase inspection of the coach. So, if anyone knows of anyone that is good at inspecting Newell coaches I would be very interested in speaking with them.

Thank you,

Jeff

Was losing air for past week to both toilets and can’t find a leak. Compressors kick on about every 1 minute . Tonight I can’t build enough air to flush either toilet. Do you see air lines breaking inside coach that’s not at a fitting ?
Coach # 534
