Hey everyone!
Getting ready to do the compressor on the 2016 and there are a few questions.
Rover cannot tell me definitively which compressor was originally installed, they can only tell me that because it's a newer model that it probably came with the AMK.
Does anyone know for sure that this is true?
(I cannot just take a look because my daughter has the truck across the country.)
Rover (Paramus and Palm Beach), frustratingly, cannot tell me what brand compressor they are selling me, so does anyone know what brand I am likely to get? LR078650
(Or maybe this time go with AB because they specify they are selling the AMK.)
The mechanics manual, and Rover Paramus, tell me that I might need to tap some threads, but again, cannot tell me with certainty because apparently every compressor is different?? - that's what they say...
Just to be sure, as long as I am replacing AMK with AMK then there is no re-programming - true?
But replacing Hitachi with AMK does require re-programming - true?
And can the IIDTool handle that re-programming, if required? Y/N?
AB claims that the Hitachi is the better compressor. If I have the AMK, can I go to the Hitachi? Re-programming for that?
The air intake filter LR070673 (not the drier) lives inside the cabin behind the trim work on the drivers rear. Paramus says they never replace these when doing compressors. I was thinking about inspecting when the truck comes home and going from there. At $100 or so, any thoughts?
I just so do love that every Rover is a totally unique individual because it was put together with whatever was laying around that day... and it's going to be "one of those" repairs...
Thanks!
