    ARB Compressor install D4 engine bay

    I wish to install a newly acquired ARB Air compressor in the right hand/drivers side compartment.

    There appears to be plenty of room for it there.

    I don't want to move my existing 2nd battery that is in front of the primary battery on the left hand side.

    Is there any down side to placing that 12v motor adjacent to the various ECUs in that compartment?

    Any comments from others that have done this install would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    The pump is, not noticed any ECU associated with it - either way no issue putting a compressor there, i have an 85AH AGM there.

    Yep,so no room for anything there, sure I've seen a compressor mounted there on a D4.

    You can move things around and get a compressor in their I believe, but it’s not as straightforward as a 3

    Maybe that's what was done as i have seen an ARB twin fitted there more than once. On a D3 the tray is empty already so a battery or compressor will drop straight in.

    ARB Compressor install D4 engine bay

    In later D4’s that module isn’t there. I have mine installed in that position. Have a look at this thread: installing compressor in D4 engine bay

    The main gotcha is that in some D4’s the nutserts under the ABS pump (which are excellent to mount the compressor to) can be slightly obstructed. Covered in the linked thread.

    Edit: this is more of an issue for putting a battery in there rather than a compressor

    ah that explains it. Mine (2016 TDV6) looks like this. the only thing I'd need to move is the two plugs but there's enough slack to relocated them to the side.
