VR6Pete 1,455 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 check on your local laws with regards to releasing AC gas into the atmosphere...it should be properly disposed off where possible assuming it's gassed up...just a case of removing allt the pipes / radiators / compressor unit, wiring, not sure if you have climatronic in your car but might start throwing up fault codes when unplugging stuff... just take a methodical approach.

Lukey. 381 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Huh the belt is like half the price of an AC belt in uk like £19I'll take a look at the way my belt is installed tomorrow morning for you, but mine is factory non AC Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 The water pump runs on the smooth side of the belt on my factory non AC car, is the AC water pump different and needs double sided then? Link to post Share on other sites
yakuza racer 16 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 im belive it is different, but thats for the pic, will do some hands on R&D tonight to see exactly how i can remove it. Belt is not found locally by me and is 39 euro's, unless you could send me a belt Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 the cost of the belt and post to SA would be £31 tracked, i just checked on the royal mail site, that is with a guesstimate that it would weight up to 500grams, if it was less it goes down by about £1 less per 100gramsUntracked would be £26. if you wanted i would do it for you, no skin off my nose.
