    Default VK Calais compressor f***ed

    Hi guys

    I was told my compressor is stuffed....went down to U-PULL-IT and grabbed a 2nd hand one. Now I want to chuck it into my car.

    Any idea on how tough this is gonna be? I already have released the gas (green coloured stuff come out of the SUC pipe until i thought of disconnecting the DIS end)....I'm out to save me a few hundred bucks, because that's what I was quoted to fit the compressor and gas it up.

    Can someone give me a hand? Cheers

    OOPS MY BAD.....bit late now i suppose.

    As far as changing one compressor for another, mechanically, just a straight swap?

    Yes, just a straight swap. I would definitely replace the seal where the hoses connect to the compressor.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
