This air brake compressor is the heart of the vehicle's braking system, generating the compressed air necessary for actuating the brakes and other air-powered systems. Manufactured to meet rigorous Volvo standards, it offers superior reliability and longevity over worn compressors that may show signs of oil leaks or reduced air output. Symptoms of a failing compressor include a continuously running compressor, audible air leaks, and a spongy brake pedal feel, potentially compromising braking performance.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
A failing air brake compressor may manifest as a compressor that runs constantly without reaching normal air pressure, or audible air leaks from the compressor housing. The braking system may exhibit a spongy pedal feel due to insufficient air pressure. If left unaddressed, this can lead to a gradual loss of braking effectiveness, increasing the risk of accidents.
Ensure the air intake line is clean and free of debris before connecting it to the new compressor, as contaminants can quickly damage the internal components. Do not overtighten the mounting bolts, as this can distort the compressor housing and lead to leaks.
Always replace the air dryer cartridge and inspect the air governor when installing a new air brake compressor to ensure optimal system performance.
