Newell Coach Air System Leaks: Installing New Compressor Governor

What happens here

The video begins with the creator introducing the project, which involves working on the Newell motorhome's air system. He explains that the rear end of the coach sags when parked and the air compressor doesn't hold pressure unless the engine is in high idle, indicating significant air leaks. He highlights two main areas for repair: the engine air compressor governor and the air dryer cartridge. He also mentions having already acquired replacement parts from FleetPride, including a new Bendix air compressor governor.

Goal: Understand the scope of the project and identify key components for repair.

Tools and materials

  • Air Dryer Cartridge OTR — Replacement part for the air system (to be addressed later)
  • Bendix Air Compressor Governor Bendix — Replacement part for the air system
  • Flexible Exhaust Pipe — An unrelated part shown in the video, intended for a separate exhaust repair
  • Newell Motorhome Newell — The vehicle undergoing repair

you're going to find that here and we're going to be doing some working on the new on the air system uh i've never done any of this before so i'll be figuring it out as i go but we're going to be changing the engine air compressor governor and the filter canister for the engine air compressor dryer which is like in the driver's side rear wheel well kind of um because this thing you know i could drive it anywhere it's been like this since i got it but like these things need to be addressed before they get worse because when i park it the whole rear end just goes it just sags and that could be a solenoid issue as well but uh either way my compressor does not hold the amount of pressure that it needs to unless it's in high idle it's because it's leaking so i went to a place fleet pride and i got all that stuff yesterday uh we're gonna put that on here i'll show you what we're working with you know just watered the grass and scrub some of this stuff off this thing right here is the governor for the air compressor this is the air compressor and it's engine driven and when i spray sippy bubbles on it it leaks out of the gasket surface it leaks down here it leaks at these bolts it just leaks that is basically what you know tells the compressor to do it's turbo referenced it's tank reference i'm not totally sure i just know i need to change it um yeah and something else i gotta fix is this main line that comes through here apparently got so hot that it like melted into this loom i don't know what wires are in this loom i'm gonna see if any of them are damaged and i'm gonna have to brace this up out of the way so it doesn't because this would have caused a problem had i not noticed this now so we got going on here
