Compressor problems

2006 D3 2.7 auto HSE.

I have recently been getting all the standard faults and warning lamps that indicate a poorly compressor. So I got myself armed with a seal kit for an Hitachi compressor and set about the job this evening.

On removing the cover I found not an Hitachi, but an AMK compressor. A previous owner must have had problems and had the compressor changed.

I can't seem to be able to find a seal kit for the AMK compressor, is there one? Or must the whole compressor be renewed?

Is the AMK compressor prone to failure? Or should I be looking elsewhere for the failure?

Thanks

Hi Disco_Mikey.

the only one concerning the suspension is

C1130 - Air spring air supply

plus a few about the heater stepper motors, which is strange as the heater seems to be working OK.

That's with my iCarsoft i930.

I got one of these, with the new end cap for good measure:

It's on the way back now.

Was looking at that one earlier.

Did it look a decent kit?
I think I just really need the piston seals etc...


Sad
