Has anyone changed the filter on the airmatic compressor??
Hi All,
Just noticed that there is a filter on the compressor for airmatic, and this is considered a regular maintenance item.
Don't change the compressor is likely to fail.
Anyone change this out?
Looks like it is just under passenger side engine cover (closest to the front of the car)..
This is the part:

Easy to change. Be advised to inspect the rubber line leading from the filter to the air compressor; on my car it was dry-rotted and broken allowing unfiltered air into the compressor. Temporary fix was to cut the line shorter until I could obtain a replacement line. Inexpensive part.
