This air brake compressor is essential for supplying the necessary compressed air to power the braking system on Volvo buses. Manufactured to high standards, it offers superior durability and consistent performance over time, unlike worn units that often suffer from reduced output or internal leaks. Operators might experience a soft brake pedal, extended stopping distances, or a constant hiss of escaping air when this part is failing.

Always replace brakes in axle sets. Bed-in new brake pads with 8–10 moderate stops from 40 km/h. Check disc runout with a dial gauge — maximum 0.1 mm. Inspect caliper slides and pistons when replacing pads.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
A failing compressor may initially manifest as a slow build-up of air pressure or a noticeable decrease in braking force. If left unaddressed, the system may not achieve sufficient pressure for safe operation, leading to unreliable braking. This poses a significant risk to vehicle control and passenger safety.
Clean the mounting surface thoroughly to ensure a good seal and prevent air leaks. Do not reuse old mounting hardware, as it may be fatigued or damaged.
Check the air governor and pressure protection valve for proper operation during compressor replacement.
