I suspect during periods of damp and high humidity the powdered desiccant (and the filters get rusty) really clogs up at that end of the canister where this exhaust pipe connects. (The humidity comes into the system backwards passively when car sits) That was my experience. $40 bucks and about an hour and a half to re-kit desiccant and filters. And slot the top compressor bracket hole so it slips onto the bolt when refitting to the car!😀

    This C1A13 code is becoming more and more prevalent and Hitachi compressor owners have begun to discover the system more and realise how simple the repairs are... or you can drop a thousand bucks on a new compressor- a smart cookie on this forum with time on their hands should set up a refurbished compressor market with core replacement for members.
    I'm on the flat, Buderim 4556, need some turning, alu mig done? It'd be free for you

    Just to clarify this particular point. No. The exhaust valve is a pilot driven valve and the system is set up to always keep the gallery (of which the desiccant canister is a part) above ambient pressure (anywhere between 1 & 4 bar) in the gallery. There is no way for ambient moisture to get into the desiccant while the system is idle.

    The intake and exhaust both happen from the same end of the canister, so that's the end with the highest moisture content. The outside end of the cap is the gallery end.
