miko_supra Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I have removed my A/C pump and have put on my shortened drive belt. But now it fowls on the bottom damper mounting point. 1st pic shows in red the route of new belt with A/C removed. http://xs.to/image-2F42_4B7E8EB7.jpg 2nd pic shows where is fowling. http://xs.to/image-567F_4B7E8EB7.jpg What do I do?

miko_supra Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Just been told by jevensio that its ok to leave it with the damper removed. So that's what I'm doing. I might weld up my own bracket some day if i feel like it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Just remove the damper, I've been running for about 8 years with no failures whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) I think the damper was more of a requirement on an engine mated to an auto than a manual. Something to do with the add stress of kickdown. Edited February 19, 2010 by pedrosixfour (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to due with the add stress of kickdown. They only come on 6 spd's, Leon lost belts as well, try it and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Ah what the hell do I know?? There isn't a damper on mine Dude, not since I've had it anyway. I didn't even know if there should be one seeing as mine is an NA 5 speed manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
