571179 SCANIA R480 Twin Cylinder, Air Compressor

The technical function of this twin cylinder air compressor is to provide consistent air pressure for braking and pneumatic systems in heavy-duty vehicles. This component is engineered with high-strength components to ensure long-term reliability within the engine and air system architecture.

571179 is the OE-equivalent of the SCANIA 571179 air compressor used in the SCANIA R480. This unit is specifically designed for heavy commercial vehicle applications, maintaining precise pressure through its dual-cylinder design and optimized swept volume of 608cm³.

For workshop technicians performing maintenance or repairs, this unit features a water-cooled design (W) with an M18x1,5 inlet and outlet configuration. It includes an ESS feature and a water-cooled valve plate to ensure optimal thermal regulation during operation. The installation requires careful attention to the M26x1,5 air inlet and M22x1,5 outlet ports to ensure a leak-free connection.

Maintaining the air compressor system is vital for vehicle safety and pneumatic performance. Regular inspections of the water cooling lines and port seals will prevent system downtime and ensure the continuous functionality of the air brake system.
