Thread: Fault Code Reader in Tamworth, NSW? - Suspension Fault

Sorry it posted upside down. I checked from all angles before ordering - looks the same as the Hitachi but I'll post an update hopefully at the weekend when it arrives!

Cars done 187,000km on the original compressor without fault. I will be putting a full seal and filter kit through it soon, I expect it to last another 180,000km. Don’t see the need to spend $600-700 on a new compressor when a $120 service kit does the same.

Ended up replacing the compressor with a Chinese Hitachi type. It came with a three year warranty and was about a third of the cost of elsewhere. I figure it should get me through the next two years until I'm working.
No issues so far!
