as title suggests ,where in the uk can i purchase one of these devices as my air con has packed in ,any help or advice would be great ,cheers

 

Is ac compressor idler bearing in clutch pulley making noise? If not, just unplug the compressor and no more AC engagement. If bearing is damaged, you would need to pull compressor and repair bearing to enable.

Replacement w/ idler pulley will probabaly require pulling compressor also.

Sometimes simpler to repair than bypass. What are your symptoms?

good luck

 

the compressor just seized on mate,the car has been standing for a while ,its the bearing i think ,i was told off a lad that you can just buy a shorter belt and bypass the a/c but i,ve looked and it doesnt look right,

 

What year/trim Accord? Is this a serpentine belt or dual belts?

good luck

 

its a 1999 accord coupe 3.0 v6 24v vtec, its a dual belter mate. i was going to do away with the compressor altogether and buy a bypass pulley however finding one in the uk is impossibe even with the internet

 

Dual belts would usually be one belt driving PS and second belt driving AC compressor and alternator, w/ adjustment achieved by setting alternator position.

If that is your arrangement, then remove old belt, wrap a heavy string around drive and Alt pulleys (bypassing compressor) and tie tightly to define new belt length. This should be done w/ alternator is mid-lower range of adjustment. This will allow slack for installation and room for take-up to tighten the belt.

Go to parts store and get a belt to match the string tied length. Install and tighten belt w/ alternator position adjustment. Lock adjustement nut.

Moved your post to correct forum.

good luck

 

thanks mate first bit of decent advice i,ve had since it happened
