hi after hours of trying to fit a smaller belt so i could disconnect the air con compressor 

in a 2002 audi cabrio with a v6 bdv engine

the belt i used was a 6pk1613 fitted perfectly

hope that may help

all the best

steve

Many thanks for the useful post Stephen.

Just wondered if there was any particular reason why you wanted to disconnect the compressor. 

Kind regards,

Gareth. 

 

hi gareth

yes the problem was the air con compressor has been used unfilled due to no refrigerant and oil 

caused by the pressure sensor leaking

so i thought bypass the drive to the compressor for a while

so the car is still usable

until i can afford a replacement compressor

if left with the compressor still being driven it would have broke up internally

as its the non clutch type so the internals are always driven air con on or off makes no difference

it was making some horrendous clanking noises

about to seize rendering the vehicle undriveable

all the best

steve

Thanks Steve.

Didn’t realise it was the non clutched type. 

Kind regards,

Gareth.

p.p. Anyway, air con in a convertible? - unless the car has to be used as everyday transport. 

Thanks for this post.

I was in a confusion regarding which car to choose for our trip to Mysoore from Funday Holidays. Now, I got an answer.

What’s the connection between your non working air con. and the underlined Funday Holidays then Tebinn? 

You were in a confusion at Cleveland?! How confused are we!? 

Kind regards,

Gareth.
