Air con pump

[MissTap_GTI6]

So Max has diagnosed the grinding sound coming from the auxiliaries is the air con pump, most likely the bearings and there's some play in it.
The air con doesn't work, surprise surprise, so I need to know how I go about removing the air con pump... Can you just remove the bracket and get a rallye/1.8 set up?

[kernow_joe]

Yup just remove the pump and fit rally belt set up, not sure on the 1.8 that would be a cheaper option though, will see if any one else knows as I need to do the same to mine

Pretty sure someone's selling a rallye aux set-up on the '6 forum atm

There was one for sale on here a while ago? Must've gone by now

[MissTap_GTI6]

Anyone have any other input?

Must be a 2.0 one, it's not a rally thing which allot make out but any 2.0 iron block engine without A/C, mind I'd buy new as most S/H ones are well worn out now and paying £50.00 for them is silly as for another 45.00 you can have new

[Frosty]

This any good

Thanks guys.

I'm going to have a think about this. I'm happy to buy another a/c pump tbh, even if the a/c doesn't work.. It hasn't ever done so I'm not missing much! The current one is fooked; grinding away and it's got a bit of play. Ain't nobody got time fo dat.

Dont lynx engineering sell the parts need for this conversion? Worth a try

[MissTap_GTI6]

Thanks Jamie. I can obtain the parts, I'm just not sure if I want to. This week I haven't been thinking very 'because race car'.... probably because of Gingies crash; it's kinda put things into perspective.
Let's see what I choose next week after I've been paid...

I might have a air con compressor you can have. If I still have it, it's just taking up space in my shed

With regards to the lynx kit, you might as well pay an engineer to carve the parts from a solid billet of ally with a tooth pick. Would probably be cheaper!

Thanks Niall, I'll take that off you if you've still got it. I'll repay you in beer or a reach around (from Stephen, of course).

If he doesn't, there's one on irenes engine you can have for a tower

[MissTap_GTI6]

Tower?

[samass]

Of the Eiffel variety.


or a zinger tower, I'm partial to a KFC

Dont let them talk you into retaining it. Get and sack off the air con rubish.













Carry on like this you will be buying a kia because the gti is to old amd rattly with no MPGeeees

How about a tower of rocks, Andy Goldsworthy style?

[samass]

Nope.

Dude you need a f*cking mortgage just to buy a oil filter from Lynx. If your going to get rid of the compressor, your looking at about £100 for parts from a motor factors.

[jammapic]

Just take it off and fit standard, new 2.0 non ac parts. You can ditch the air con rad, pipes and feel better knowing you've saved about 5kg :-)

the pump is a son of a bitch to get off though!!
