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

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
