Noisy compressor and classic to slow to fill code. Had a look and the rubber vibration suppressors all shot as well. Can you service the AMK? Thanks

Yep, that's an AMK... there should be a label on it somewhere (visible from underneath)...

Unless it's a cheap copy, then they look like an AMK but are unbranded. And it looks like there is no stamp on the end cap, so I'm going with a cheap copy Thumbs Up

Yes I agree, it looks like the previous owner went Chinese 😱 so I think a complete genuine AMK replacement is a must. Any recommendations on suppliers?

Ok so if it is a cheap AMK copy I presume a genuine replacement should be plug and play.

If you already have the Chinese AMK bracket and covers, you can get away with just a bare genuine AMK unit (without bracket etc)

Will save a couple of hundred quid Thumbs Up
