This air brake compressor is a critical component of your Volvo truck's air braking system, responsible for generating the compressed air needed to operate the brakes. Manufactured to meet high-durability standards, it ensures reliable air pressure compared to a worn unit that may leak or fail to build pressure. Operators may notice a lack of air pressure, a continuously running compressor, or brake system warning lights when this part is failing.
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.
The most common initial symptom is a failure to build sufficient air pressure in the system, often indicated by a low-air warning buzzer. If left unaddressed, the brakes may not engage effectively, leading to a significant safety risk. Prolonged operation with a faulty compressor can also lead to damage to other air system components.
Ensure the air intake line is clean and free of debris before connecting it to the new compressor. Do not overtighten the mounting bolts, as this can distort the compressor housing.
Replace the air dryer cartridge and inspect all air lines for leaks when servicing the air brake compressor.
