Thread: Air suspension repair

Depends on what you have. Hitachi or CMK.
I’d suggest if you have Hitachi getting the later CMK unit and upgrading.

Don’t go the Chinese knock offs!

AMK? Autocorrect or old-timers disease afflicted I feel

I tried repairing mine, got then end cap and all from England.
Still had issues so I just picked up a new AMK compressor from LR for just under $1800 and I’ll fit it tonight. They don’t sell the hitachis anymore.
You can get compressors on eBay but a lot are cheap knock offs so I didn’t take the risk.

Have you got the Gap tool to do the firmware update?

I managed to repair mine using the kit however the new aluminium end caps Voss connectors were not of great quality and didn’t secure that well. I decided to use some wire to keep the locking tab in place.

You can buy Hitachi from UK , $643 + approx $ 90 Frieght in 4 days . Also would appear fro uk forums that the AMK are just as problematic as the Hitachi .

My mech just put a Hitachi back on and IIRC going from Hitachi to AMK means changing the bracket as well.
