Aftermarket Air Compressor

Anyone had any luck with aftermarket air compressor? Mine started making noise and I wanted to change it before it goes bad.

Make sure you get a new filter when installing the new compressor. Also pay attention to the way the springs and rubber seat comes apart. The Arnott pump is the original OEM pump. It's about an hour job.

I replaced mine with an OEM Mercedes remanufactured unit. It’s almost the same cost as Arnott unit. I paid AED 1100 (approx $300) at the dealership.

Arnott has retail price and something it's more expensive than others. I called Arnott and asked them why. The answer was vendors buy products at Arnott at wholesale price and are able the pass on the saving to consumers. Make sure you keep the receipts. Arnott products are life time warranty, you can deal directly with Arnott even though you buy its products not from them. Please call Arnott and double check.
Of course I would buy from Arnott if the price is the same.
