If you state the year of your cars manufacture and model it will help those in the know. There is a repair kit for the “compressor” it saves you some money but requires some hands on knowledge and some ability on the spanner’s.

Unless it has previously been changed I think it will be a Hitachi on a 2007 car. If you feel the urge just drop off the plasic cover and have a look at mounting bracket the two are totaly different. Google LTB00420 will bring up tech. bulletin.

Thanks for the input guys. It has been replaced a couple of times but wouldn't it have to be replaced with the same unit? Or are they interchangeable? |

The AMK was a replacement for the Hitachi, although you originally needed the complete kit as the mounting bracket and plastic cover was different, also need a software update and a change of relay. But it could have been replaced with like for like if a Hitachi was available. Just to confuse things I believe a aftermarket Dunlop one was also available although I don't think L/R ever fitted that as o.e. from the factory.

If the car is dropping that is not a symptom of a failed compressor - going up slow, not going up or not getting the required reservoir pressure is.

Are the valve blocks located on each suspension leg? Sounds like a big job. I think in the past my pumps have had to overwork due to this internal leak and that's why they've failed. |

Thanks for the reply. My car was originally just dropping on the front left, now it is dropping in all 4 corners. Does that mean that air it somehow getting back through all 3 valve blocks? |
