quote :The details? After 2 months the compressor stopped working.
1. took it to be repaired under warranty, at 1st they told me they changed it.
2 when it broke again a week after they told me that the wiring was not done properly, and that this time they changed it for real.
3. one week after that it broke again. did not want to waist an other day to tae it to the service center… so I am waiting for the next service visit to get it fixed changed again… so appart the fact is is slow. either the service in toyota is bad… or it’s the compressor.in any case it’s annoying. . . I would not recommend using it. it’s just for show., but not reliable.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for your information Sebastien, I appreciate it. Weird that the wiring was the issue as it is overspec’ed to carry more power to larger compressors than what is installed. As for the speed, performance/cost ratio plays a huge roll in OE, while the new compressor is quite good for casual offroaders, serious offroaders would definitely need more oomph. That’s why LC200 Extreme was fitted with high flow compressor which will a large tire in under 2 mins.
quote :correct me if i am wrong that these compressors are made and installed by NSV GROUP and not Toyota Japan?I believe there is hardly any air behind the panel for the compressor to suck and pump.
The compressors and other accessories are designed and manufactured by NSV Group, installations are done by AlFuttaim. It depends upon who is the customer, G-Wagon LED lights are supplied directly to Merc for example.
As for space all Toyota’s are blessed with large amount of space behind the panels. My Grand Cherokee barely have any space behind the panels and running well without overheating or suffocating. As I wrote above, speed depends on cost first and then physical space available second.
I apologize for digging this up but here is some more info. Depending on your FJ/LC200 model year the models post ,iirc, 2015 have an upgraded built-in compressor. Inflation time per tire have been cut roughly by half.
As for Gallo and Sebastien, I would appreciate if you can PM me with the details of the issues you had with your units.
Thanks!
