1300 180 002 Twin Cylinder Air Compressor VOLVO

The heavy-duty twin cylinder air compressor is engineered to provide consistent pneumatic pressure for critical braking systems in heavy commercial vehicles. This component plays a vital role in the air brake system, ensuring reliable air supply through its specialized water-cooled design and high-strength components. Designed for longevity, the unit maintains high operational stability even under demanding workshop conditions.

1300 180 002 is the OE-equivalent twin cylinder air compressor used in VOLVO (7600 850 008, 3161258, 7403161258 with gear) vehicles. It is also compatible with various WABCO systems and meets the technical requirements for high-duty air brake applications. This part ensures seamless integration into the existing pneumatic architecture of the vehicle.

The installation process requires precision, especially regarding the water inlet and outlet ports (M16x1,5) to ensure proper cooling. Workshop technicians should verify the through-drive compatibility and the air unloader port specifications before assembly. Regular maintenance of the cooling circuit is recommended to prevent thermal issues during long-haul operations.

Maintaining optimal pressure within the pneumatic system is essential for vehicle safety. This compressor is designed to work effectively within complex air brake systems, providing the necessary throughput for heavy-duty truck and bus applications. It serves as a reliable replacement to maintain original vehicle performance standards.
