Rotten and aging hoses (or rusty piping) are a big problem on a vehicle.. causes all kinds of damage. Also if it is de-mandated and has block-off plates.. the block-off plates can rust and flake and get intot he air compressor or engine intake, causing compression loss and eventual engine / air compressor / turbo failures.

Also, some OEM places will not warranty an air compressor unless you also replace the air-dryer too.. If the air dryer is old, you need to replace that as well. This is because the air dryer can over-work the air compressor or cause it to over-pressure and spike.. and make them fail as well.
