merckx Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 The one on the bottom is the A/C. The one above is the power steering. I'm not sure I understand when you say it moves then stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 my fan belt has broken and there is a funny sound coming from the second pully down to the right of the engine is that the aircon pump, it moves then stops and when i put the aircon on the fuse blows. is the water pump the one at the top and aircon underneath it can someone help me out please:( is the funny sound there now you've put a new belt on? Does the lower right (aircon) pulley's outer ring spin freely (when no belt is over it) and does the inner part of the pulley (raised edge to it, rotate with light/firm hand pressure......... If the inner part feels solid ie won't move independantly to the outer ring then the aircon compressor may be seized....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Sounds like the A/C compressor may have seized? Not sure why this would blow the clutch fuse though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
