Thread: My compressor cover paid for itself.

Recently, I was doing some rockcrawling at Saunders Gorge near Adelaide. We heard quite a crunch as we dropped into a hole. Not a bad "broke something" sound, but noticed the compressor was noisy.

A quick underbody survey revealed that the GOE compressor protection plate had "taken a hit". The noise was the compressor cover now touching the slightly deformed and more substantially scratched plate.

Today, I removed the plate and discovered the compressor has been saved from any damage. I have worked on the plate and restored it's shape. Plate returned to its position. I am very pleased I listened to advice here and installed it.

I am certain the compressor would not have survived that impact without the protection.

If you are thinking about underbody protection this is the place to start.

Hmmm, good tip Fred.
