Aftermarket Compressor Replacement |
|
Hi guys,
I need to replace the compressor, so I've bought the aftermarket one from Rimmerbros.
I also bought the fitting kit and it also comes with a relay.
So now I'm not sure why I need the fitting kit and relay.
Can anyone please point me in the direction of any information that would help me understand what I need these for??
Many thanks!

I changed the relay when i did mine as a precautionary measure - they do go sometimes so it was peace of mind for me. Not too sure of any tech/electrical reason though.

If you are changing from a Hitachi compressor to an AMK compressor you need a fitting kit to make it all come together properly. A new relay should be fitted each time you do the compressor.
