nb8a air con belt

Postby 16bit » Wed Nov 04, 2009 9:08 am

hey guys just wondering if the air con belt runs off the power steering too? My air con does not work and was wondering if I could remove the belt.

Yes they do share the same belt, so unfortunately no you wont be able to remove it and still have power steering.....

You just need a shorter belt. Guess it is the same belt from a model without AC but has PS. Don't know if it is an easy job swapping.
