A/c Compressor Clutch Pulley

[callumc]

The bearing in the a/c clutch pulley on my 2001, 2.3, auto have disintegrated so I'm wondering where, or if, I can buy only a replacement clutch pulley and not the whole damn compressor?!! Alternatively I'm thinking of just replacing the bearings in the pulley.........any suggestions?

Thanks,

Callum

I found a re-manufactured compressor cheaper than just a new clutch pulley when mine failed several years ago.

Thanks but where did you get it from?

[MrT]

Motor Climate UK or Compressortech and this was 5 years ago and still going strong.

Hi

Not sure if this will help but I managed to replace the pulley and electromagnet on my old mk1 galaxy aircon compressor.

I am sure if you can do it on a mk1 you could do it on a mk2.

I got it from a ford dealer as it was the only place to get it from.

i had my clutch replaced whilst insitu,i obtained a doner compressor and we used the bits from that,only because on mine the clutch plate had worked

itself loose and the centre hole became elongated and fell off.

Thanks to all for your help. Another question!

Not being much of a car mechanic can I replace the compressor and not get it re-pressurised? The A/c is never used anyway!!

Hi There

 

You could just change compressor and not re gas, the clutch will not engage without gas pressure in the system although not recommended if you decided at a later date to re gas.

if your never going to use the air con why not source a shorter belt and by pass the compressor?
