[allrounda88]

I did this on mine easy peasy mate.

I cant remember what belt i used but its on here so do a search.

If your ac is still working remember still under pressure.

Simply unbolt compressor from side.

I left the matrix inside the cabin but removed the hard pipes as far back as the bulkhead.

Are you removing the aircon condenser?

Easy to do, 4 bolts on the compressor can be tricky to get to, especially the lower 2. Don\'t vent the gas to the atmosphere as it illegal! But if you "accidentally" undo a bolt or pipe, stay well away as its nasty stuff and can do serious harm.


Buy a seat toledo belt. 1.9 turbo diesel without air conditioning, years from 1993-1998 halfords part number HB925G
