Removing aircon from gti6

[spike2002]

As my air con is nackerd in the 6 i am going to remove it inc the pump from The engine.

Does anyone know what parts i need to do this? How much they cost? And where to get them from?

Thanks in advance

[Matt]

Iirc don't you just need a new belt? From a car with the non air con? Like the rallye

[Ed Doe]

You need the non-ac aux set-up from the rallye. Slightly different pulley arrangement iirc...

[spike2002]

Thats what i was thinking but ive read that mayb there is more to it than just changing the belt to a smaller rallye one? Tensioners or a pulley mayb?

Ed do you know if i can get this as a kit? If so any ideas on price and where from?

Also would the aux set up be the same from a non a/c 2.0 16 xsi?

[Matt]

Just buy the rallye parts instead of the '6 equivalent

[Chris]

Yep, just get the rallye tensioner and idler.

Also remove all the pipework while the engine is out of the car.

[Ed Doe]

^^ Chris he's not taking his engine out?! His AC Is knackered that's all!!

I think Lynxengineering sell a kit, but the simplest way would be to have a quick search of the '6 forum, find out what the rallye set-up involves, and just buy that with a rallye belt

I'll have a peek when I get a minute, see if I can find any info on it

[Matt]

I could walk outside and look at my rallye?

And ed seriously stop with the lynx!!! He wants to buy them not get bummed for them

[Ed Doe]

I wouldn't bother mate, you wont get an accurate representation; as it's a ph2 most of it's probably fallen off already...




AND SO IT BEGINS

[spike2002]

The engine is currently out of the car so will be removing all the a/c pipes and that aswell
Matt any chance you can pm me ur reg and chasi number mate and i can use that to give my local motor factors so i get the rite parts

[Grant]

Can anyone throw a link/part# up for the rallye aux setup. Having trouble finding it

Thanks

[samass]

How well does your auto window work Matt? I've heard that ph2s have trouble with these .....oh wait!

[Matt]

Who needs auto windows? Never had em in the xsi either!

[TheGateKeeper]

[bongo]

Thread below should help you lot out a bit:

Retro is cool anyway & windy windows are retro

[spike2002]

Gatt38098 tensioner
Gatt36036 idler
Gatt6pk1163 belt

So these are the part numbers that are needed for gates thanks for the.link mate

[Diggers]

was just about to comment and say the hdi and dturbo to remove the ac pump you just use a 6pk1163

[TheGateKeeper]

this is the link on unipart... but which ones are they?

http://www.unipartautomotive.co.uk/Engin...Tensioners

Looking at the picture Bongo put up... its the £32.90 tensioner.. and the £38.70 idler... = £71.60 so then would need the belt?!

[spike2002]

Link only goes to unipart website mate

[TheGateKeeper]

Gay... Go to it and chuck Matt's reg in

---

UGCGBT6036 - Idler
UGCGBT8098 - Tensioner

[cwspellowe]

Go to a scrappy and find any xu petrol engined 306 and take the parts off that. £bumrape for the rallye parts, pennies from any other 306

[spike2002]

Are the parts the same tho?

---

Tgk got it now mate yh they look correct

[samass]

afaik, all the aux belt set ups on the xu engines are the same, with the only different being the ac or non ac. obviously. good shout on the scrappy, might have a butchers next time im down, all the ones there seem to have ac tho...

[Niall]

Think some of the belts are different. PAS pulley on the 6 is smaller than the one on the 1.8 So some have a shorter belt.

[Matt]

T553 rwy that's my reg for anyone looking for parts

[spike2002]

just so people can see the difference this is my standard 6 setup with aircon

I tried to get some screenshots from ServiceBox but I can't find the right section for it. If anyone needs it and knows what section it is post it up and I'll grab some screenshots.
