Guigsy Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Rather than having actual cold air? It's like putting your milk on the kitchen counter because it's cooler than the front doorstep when have a fridge right there. I've never understood people that don't use aircon.

ashbuster Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 if i had to sit in the car without it moving then i probably would use aircon but i dont to be honest. but mine has turned from a daily to a toy if it was still my daily car then i would have left it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I can completely understand people who use the air con regularly and feel it a necessity, but for me, I never used it anyway and haven't missed it at all since removing it.

Rajinder Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Can someone send me a link for the shortened belt for when I remove the air con pulley? I stand to be corrected but this is what you need, Gates belt PK 1865 (1865mm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 If this is a road car think twice about removing the A/C - When I was considering doing this a few yrs back I spoke to people that had done it and really regretted it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashbuster Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 i posted a link to the belt in post 4 on the start of the thread http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/index.php/garage-whifbitz-1094.html click without aircon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Bandicoot Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Whifbitz want £31 for the belt and £14 postage!? Surely that's a bit pricey... Where can I get the same belt cheaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can I get the same belt cheaper? eBay or your local Motormania.. I paid around a £12 IIRC for a Gates belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Bandicoot Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 What sort of manufacturer are good and bad on these belts? Veco for vauxhall vectra and zafira are around £10-15 Gates for around £35-50... Am I looking for a 12 or 9pk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 ohh i thought it was a custom size, thanks for that info , saves me a few quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Bandicoot Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Still think I'm looking at about £40-50 for a quality belt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I think from memory mine is 6pk1865 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I know you can get a Gates 6pk1863, so that would be 2mm shorter, I would guess you would be okay with that if you want a decent brand but that's an educated guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 6PK1865 is the Gates belt I used. Cost me £13.50. Just checked the receipt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about other brands I just used Gates as they're tried and tested. I bought it off eBay. Quality is spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Bandicoot Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Was thinking a continental one, like the tyre make must be pretty good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
