Aircon Pump Seized

[mikeshe]

As the title states, the aircon pump on my daughter's 2000 W reg 2.3 Galaxy has seized solid and I need to get the heap mobile asap. I intend to remove the aircn pump altogether for the time being. Can anyone please tell me which auxullary I need to ask for? Not sure if there are any 2.3's without factory fit aircon so any help would be appreciated.

Hi

Are you sure it is the pump and not just the pulley/electromagnet.

I am sure you can get the pulley and electromagnet for the aircon pump as a separate part as I did for my old 2.0l galaxy when the pulley seized.

Bit of a pain to replace but it can be done.

Couldn't move the pump pulley with the belt off but I'm not really interested in what's what, I just need to get the car mobile and that's by using a shorter belt to bypass the pump altogether. Any repair cost comes out of my pocket so I'm going for the cheapest and easiest option!

Out of interest did you find anything out about which belt as I have the same problem!!
