OK, so at the moment you have a short belt fitted so you can bypass the auto adjuster. The big problem with that is that the belt wont be wrapped around the load pulleys as much, and probably no amount of belt tightening would help.
Interesting that it can be done in an emergancy though.
it sound like you /will/ need to know the length/width of the AC belt before you can get the right one.
From memory, the Gates website had extensive listings.
I found the past ebay purchase for my belt and it's description is:
6PK1740
I thought of building a fixed tensioner to replace the noisy auto one, but i'm thinking that the longer AC belt may be more likely to slip with temperature change, not forgetting that we already have the extra load of the AC pump compred to other models.
Does anyone know for sure what has to be removed to replace the AC model auto-adjuster? I recall reading on this forum that it may be model dependant.
Cheers Ron
