Hi Guys does any of you know how to identify what compressor do you have. I got mine today and want to know if I have the new 4 piston or the 3 piston..
Daystate 110 compressor wich one do i have?

Eddy, back when AoA sent whitetail a 3 stage by mistake, I remember a thread about this. I was double checking everything to be sure they sent me a 4 stage like I ordered. To my understanding the 4 stage has 4 pistons. Looking at it from the belt side, there will be one at 9, 12, 3 and 6 o'clock. The one at 3 o'clock has a pressure release valve(I guess) that sticks out the bottom of that piston unless they changed that on the newer ones:
right in front of the fan with the keyring looking thing hanging on the bottom. Here is another pic of that piston where I think yours just has a flat plate:

I notice from your msg that your motor label says 14.5 amp and mine is 15.2
Here is the pic from AoA where they still list it as a 3-stage on the web site (unbelievable) and I doubt they updated those pics either. Pretty sure this pic from their website is 3-stage:
See that plate on the right-hand side? Mine has a piston there, the one with the release valve thing on the bottom. I call it a valve, but I don't know what it is. Steve from Aeac did a vlog where he talked about that valve on the 4-stage but he deleted it later. I would have thought all the 3-stage would be gone by now. They used to list a daystate v110 used for $1899 but they weren't used, they were the remaining new 3-stage. The $1999 v110 is supposed to be 4-stage.
edit: I hope someone else knowledgeable will chime in cause I find it hard to believe that AoA is still making the 'mistake' of shipping a 3-stage when a customer orders a 4-stage.

The valve hangs off the bottom of that #3 piston on the right side, not the bottom piston. Yours has just a plate there but no piston. I hate to say it mate, but I'm getting a bad feeling if you ordered a 4-stage. Unless someone else here knows something I don't. That schematic is what comes with all of them, 3 or 4 stage.

I think forum members 'whitetail17' and maybe 'jungle' ordered 4-stage daystate compressors. Whitetail is the one they shipped a 3-stage and AoA paid to have it shipped back and replaced with the correct 4-stage. Not sure if jungle ever ordered but I remember him asking me about the 4-stage. I ordered mine right after whitetail and on the invoice beside daystate v110 they put ******4-stage***** so the guy who prepped and packed wouldn't screw the pooch again. I had called them after whitetail's debacle and was pretty paranoid about getting a 3-stage. Although really, I don't think 3 vs 4-stage is that big a deal with that compressor but a customer should get what they specified and paid for.

Hello-
This very issue was one of the main reasons I was turned off with regard to purchasing the Daystate 110. I had seen this problem noted on this forum, and did not want the 3 stage model. I specifically asked AOA to state, in writing on the invoice, that the compressor I was purchasing was 4-stage. They actually refused to do so. I did not purchase from them, because of this.
Good luck, and kind regards,

I called and asked why they sent the 3 piston instead of 4 they told me that the they're having too many problems with the 4 stage that's why they are shipping the 3 stage. Also they are going to send me the yellow cover for the switch on/off, I'm going to keep this one but next time that i want to buy something I'll think twice before calling them.. if you paid for a cow they have to give you a cow not a bull lol

Sounds like they're peeing on your leg and telling you it's raining outside. I wouldn't buy that excuse for a minute. Call Coltri and ask them if they've stopped making the 4 cylinder vesion and reverted back to the 3 cylinder only. It's like a car dealer delivering you last years stale inventory and telling you you got a better car than the newer model you paid for. They either made a shipping mistake or are hoping you wouldn't notice. I'd like to believe it wasn't an intentional bait and switch.

You're right... I'm keeping it because I need it if I send it back its going to take maybe 1 month to get the new one. The oil is coming Monday if it doesn't work well I'm going to ask for the 4 stage ..

Hello-
They actually told me the EXACT opposite. The guy I spoke to at AOA told me they were not shipping the 3 stage, because there were too many warranty issues with it. He stated, therefore, that they were only shipping the 4 stage, and that I need not worry which one I would receive. After that discussion I spoke to a Coltri rep who advised that the Daystate 110 was very new and did not, yet, have a reliabilty history/track record.
Kind regards,

Hello-
No. I explained to him that I was looking at both the Daystate 110, and the Coltri MCH-6. At which time he advised that the Daystate was sold through a distributor in the UK, and was not flowing through the Coltri distributor network thus not covered by a Coltri warranty. The Coltri rep also stated that the Daystate 110 was very new, and lacked a reliability history, especially with regard to the 3 stage versions. It may have simply been a selling point, but he did state that the machine I was purchasing would be assembled, test run, drained of oil, and then shipped to me.
I think you should call and talk to Coltri, as well.
Kind regards,

Sorry to hear about your woes, Eddy.
One thing that I'm confident in... that you'll enjoy your new compressor! It really is a great machine.
Best of luck,
Carl
