V40: - auxiliary belt from air con to non air con - Page 3

Woody2 · May 20th, 2017, 18:14

Hi again.
Just to say having researched this more and found far more information on air con DIY and how to charge the system, I have decided to do it properly and keep the car as original as possible. It will be a first for me (so fingers crossed) then I can say that there is not a single thing on this car that I haven't don within the realms of home mechanics.

I understand to bypass the AC pulley I will obviously need a shorter auxiliary belt so my question is :-

Looking at my engine details below , Has anyone carried out this job on the same engine type ? and if so do you recall the length of the auxiliary belt ? this would save me a lot of research that nowadays takes up more time than the job itself, I would be grateful for any help please.
Engine details:- B4204 T3, Displacement 1.95, 162 hp,121kw and if it helps the belt needs to be the 6 ribbed.
Thank You.

The beauty of the '40 is there's always a way.

That's interesting, do you simply have a blank button instead of the AC switch?
