This air brake compressor is the heart of your Volvo truck's air braking system, generating the compressed air necessary for brake application and air suspension. Built to withstand demanding operational conditions, it ensures consistent air pressure delivery, unlike a failing compressor which may produce insufficient or contaminated air. Operators might experience a gradual loss of braking power, the air dryer failing to purge moisture, or an excessively long time to build air pressure, especially after prolonged stops.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

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.
Initial symptoms of a failing air brake compressor include a noticeable increase in the time it takes to build air pressure after starting the engine. The compressor may also run continuously without reaching its cut-out pressure, or you might hear unusual noises. If left unaddressed, the system may not maintain adequate air pressure, compromising braking ability and potentially leading to system-wide air leaks.
Ensure the mounting bracket and drive pulley are clean and free of debris before installation, and verify the drive belt tension is set correctly according to manufacturer specifications. Overtightening the drive belt can damage bearings on both the compressor and the engine.
Inspect and clean or replace the air dryer cartridge and check all air lines for leaks when replacing the air brake compressor.
