Seems like a daft question but does anyone know whether AMK software will run the Hitachi compressor or does it need to be changed . Stupidly ordered a compressor for my D3 and didn’t think to check whether previous owner had upgraded to AMK which of course they had . I imagine the relay is also going to be different . Any advice welcome ??
 
I am pretty sure the software is changed when AMK is fitted.

@gstuart would probably know.

send it back for an exchange:)

perhaps @blue beasty will move this thread to proper place too.

hiya

indeed the software needs to be changed and relay along with it

the AMK is an upgraded compressor than the hitachi

indeed ur spot on , get it exchanged for the AMK

Thank you , yes The car kept dropping and lifting at random moments followed by the “Suspension Fault” warning on the dash . It would do it regularly and then reset. I was waiting for the total failure , as I had with my previous RR Vogue SE which turned out in that case to be a torn bag front near side . With the D3 I’ve ended up with the compressor running on start up very noisily for approx 30 seconds, no lift and the Suspension Failure warning . I’ve taken the awful noise to mean the compressor has had enough. I wasn’t aware of the practice of upgrading to D4 compressors so didn’t think to check which one was under there . I’ve got the repair kit which is required if you have to cut existing pipes but I’m now wondering about the software differences ?
 
Sorry suspecting something else now?

if you just rebuild/replace existing no lines need cutting or changing

hiya

ur very welcome and plenty here to always help

to be honest that doesn’t sound like a compressor but an electrical one , however if it’s very noisy it could have done damage to it

by u saying it’s dropping , do u mean over night or as ur driving it the suspension raises and lowers

happy to help to see if we can pin it down

have u got a code ready by any chance or able to gain access to one
 
many thanks guys , sorry if this thread was in the wrong place . Damn newbies

plus 1 what @marjon just said, in the right place now so at least more will see ur question

not wishing to sound rude how much knowledge do u have of the suspension system and how it all works plse, just so nothing comes across like trying to teach u how to suck eggs, lol
