Hi - don't know if anyone's already asked - any chance of the air con compressor?? Cheers

Thanks seatkid, I'm guessing that would make the flywheel free wheel on the pull of the belt then? That's a really good idea. It's too dark to go to it now - do you know if is the electrical connector alongside the fly wheel? Looking at the Haynes, it looks like it's on the underside?? (2.3 petrol).

Hi, my 1999 2.3 Ghia was whining from the aircon auxilliary belt fly(?) wheel. I had the belt replaced, but the whine continued. I've tried WD40 on the various wheels, which works for a while. Occaisionally the whine stops on it's own. Now the air con auxilliary belt fly(?) wheel seems to jamming or seizing up - the belt naturally keeps going over the wheel, overheats and starts smoking. Any ideas on what I can do - other than replace the whole air con?? I'm guessing it's the aircon unit - it's the bottom right (nearest the front of the car) wheel attached to the belt as I look in from the o/s wheel. Could do without the
