AMK Air Suspension Compressor Upgrade Information
Range Rover Sport L320 & Discovery 3 / 4 (L319)
Land Rover gradually changed the air suspension compressor supplier from Hitachi to AMK during production. The AMK-type compressor is fully compatible with earlier models, but installation requirements depend on vehicle year and existing setup.
Vehicle Compatibility and Changeover
Range Rover Sport L320
From 2010 production onwards (VIN starting from 9A215622), Range Rover Sport models were factory-equipped with an AMK air suspension compressor instead of the earlier Hitachi unit.
Earlier vehicles before 2010 can also use an AMK compressor, but additional components and a software update may be required depending on the configuration.
Discovery 3 & Discovery 4 (L319)
From 2012 production onwards (VIN starting from CA638965), Discovery models were factory-equipped with an AMK-type compressor.
Earlier Discovery 3 / 4 vehicles can also be converted to AMK, subject to the same requirements outlined below.
