Thread: Air intake for the D4 compressor?

Can anyone tell me where the air intake is for the air compressor? Like others I'm having the 'normal height only' warning which is due to the reserve not filling up at the required speed but before I go to the expense of replacing the compressor i want to rule out any simple things.

I have already taken the compressor apart, checked the desiccant and all this looks ok, still very white. What else should I check first?

It looks like the replacement compressors are about $600, does anyone have a better source?

thanks, luke

Ive ruled out any air leaks between the compressor and reserve tank.

If you clean out the filter, and repack the desiccant in the dryer (and I'm talking AMK compressor) you may get a couple weeks like I did - and I mean almost 2 weeks to the day, before it really gives up.
