    Hi All. This summer I installed a chrome compressor on a Volvo 1800. It appeared to be a Sanden SD508, but there was no tag. The after market seller said it was new. Does anyone know if Sanden makes chrome compressors, or are all the chrome ones remans? (This one appears to be failing...)

    I think, maybe, you have found the wrong forum. You might read the rules and the scope of discussion for this forum.

    Yup.... Wrong arena. None of the cars or trucks here use air brakes so they don't have air compressors. :eek:

    To end this, Sanden likely never made a chrome compressor. All the fake Sandens come in three colors, dull, polish, chrome. If you paid less then $200, it's likely fake. Chrome holds heat really bad!

    Most of the ads either say "replacement for" or "same as" or "like a" Sanden SD508. They are Chinese knock off's.

    Hi. Vintage Air uses that brand compressor & I know they offer them in polished & I think Chrome. Just go to their website and see what they offer there & you should know.
