Grand Voyager Air Con
The AC compressor has come away from the engine, it has damaged the chain housing and can not be reattached. can i remove the AC and install a new drive belt to run the other parts. the one i have tried would not run the water pump ??

The belt runs close circa 10mm to itself so watch for wear/stretching as the tensioner will push it towards itself, but at £26 + fitting (neighbour did mine) it was a cheaper alternative. Heater still works and just ambient cold. If we keep the car next year may look for a secondhand ac unit. If you do bypass this it will take probably a days work as you will need to try 5-6 belts to find the one you want, and possibly order it (next morning) To fit and get back in the road about 1/2 hour. good luck |
