Thread: Another SLS problem

It will have sucked in dirt and water for sure. Piston ring will be worn, and maybe the cylinder bore will be scored (it is PTFE coated). Cylinder unit comes off easily enough.
I managed to source a s/h cylinder on Ebay.
There was someone selling a replacement piston ring kit for a Jaguar (same compressor) on Ebay too.
I think you have to be lucky to buy new parts.
New compressor is ~$600

Thanks Terry, I feared that it was a replacement compressor.... just what I need at the moment!
I also have to replace the inlet lines and the silencer (is that what it is called?). Do you happen to know whether I would have to replace all the way back to the air filter?
Regards

Mine broke off at the silencer same as yours, I drilled and tapped a thread for a 1/8 inch x 1/4 brass hose barb then connected the hard plastic tube with a bit of rubber fuel hose. It is worth cleaning the filter, it is in front of the LH tail light unit. I didn't have to replace anything else.

Have a look at the cylinder, you may only need a piston ring.

Cheers,
Terry

Audi also use the same compressor.

i got one of these,didnt work as the bore was scored perhaps try and hone the bore out slightly,may last a little time

Yes that is the kit I bought. Worked well with a good s/h cylinder also on Ebay. But I think I got lucky.
About $120 all included.

You can add any type of air compress eg ARB.... Easy to hookup

Just thinking that if the cylinder is damaged and can be bought back with a hone.then the ring will be to small,can they make an oversize ring to suit????
