Hey Guys,
With my starter and Webasto both working it is time for my next repair. My air compressor has been slowly dying for the last year and before my next long drive it needs to go. If you are interested in a bit of my compressors history here is a few posts:

So here is todays question, My current compressor is listed as obsolete by Haldex, it is shown here:

This compressor is listed as a compatable replacement:

Will the compressor in the last link work on my left turning 8v71?
Thanks for reading, I know I can't be the only one who has faced this recently!
Cheers,
TM
PS What happened to the spell check?
Edit to fix second link.
The cam drives all turn in the same direction regardless of the engine rotation.
Like Len said the only thing turning backwards is the starter and crankshaft
OK, Sweet that makes my life a whole lot easier!
Thanks
Steve,
Both of the linked compressors(which appear to be the same, btw) are listed as 0 degree tilt. Your 4106 should have a 45 degree tilt compressor.

Bob,
How will i know if the compressor that is at the parts store is a 45 degree tilt?
I will post up some photos here of the actual one in just a bit.

I guess the only sure way to know is compare it to the one you have.

Steve,
My apologies. I got my MCI and GM compressors mixed up. The MCIs use the laid over compressor.
The difference is in the location of the oil drain hole. The GM's drain should be at 6 o'clock and the MCIs are closer to 4 o'clock, with the compressor standing upright.
You want to make sure your replacement has the drain in the same place as your old one.
Bob
Eagle - That is exactly my plan, when the weather allows I'm going to get the two side by side.
Bob - Thanks for the up date, you had me wondering this afternoon. Now I just need to learn where the oil drain is!
TM
Steve,
The oil drain is just a hole in the casting that allows the oil in the compressor crankcase to drain into the engine housing. After you remove your compressor, if you'll look in the area where the drive gear is located, you'll see it.
Bob
Thanks Bob!
