« on: 14 January 2012, 14:55:43 »

Use a 4-pot with A/C belt to bypass the V6 compressor

To be honest I have never used a 4pot Belt which Rob is refering... I have however used for a V6 engine a None Air Con Belt which will just miss going around the Air Con Pump.
It does go around everything else. :y

Yes ive learnt that its easier getting the aux belt off without all the air con pipes in the way ...the belt looked what you might say ok with general wear while looking at it in situ but when i pulled the belt off closer inspection shows bits worn away and cracking nearly all around the belt ...the belt has hardened quite bad as well  :o
