    Alright, here I go again....
    I am in the need of some good advice where I could locate a Air Compressor for a Volvo Engine. It's an VED-12 Engine with a Volvo Air Compressor with dual pistons. I have looked at Volvo and they run $1200 plus a core charge. I have spoken to different mechanics and most of them say that normally air compressors do not go out ( the only reason i have to replace mine is because the UNLOADER valve is gone, but the thing is located INSIDE the darn compressor) ..... I am open to buying a rebuild or used air compressor. Let me know if anyone knows a place I could call that possibly has one.....


    Thank you :biggrin_25514:

    Volvo use Knorr Bremce and Wabco compressors. On some Wabco compressors cyl head cant be fixed and cyl. head cost is about 800 Euro. so be sure they give you rebuilt compressor and later fix your.

    plz post me photo of compressor to identify. If you have Knorr compressor parts are available genue and aftermarked (much cheaper).

    BTW, you can use used compressors by Knorr from any Volvo Engine, really easy to find on any UK ore Poland JY.

    That is what I have been worried about that it cannot be rebuild. But here a picture of the compressor that I need $(KGrHqRHJCoE+h(nFVsjBQEtuj14-w~~60_35.jpg
