I'm ditching the A/C on my jetta... the compressor sounds like it's a gravem crusher, and the condersor leaks. So it's out, and it's never allowed back in.tely, the water pump pulley the gave me doesn't seem right... It aboout 1mm from the crank pulley, and rubs against the lower timing belt cover. Plus, I don't see any conceivable way to get a belt on it. Does anyone have a picture of their AAZ No-AC setup? I need to figure this one out ASAP.
This is a direct bolt on... only issue is that the water pump pulley sits very close, very very close and if you dont have a new or tight pump and it has some wobble you may have rubbing (but the good news is that both this crank pulley and the water pump pulley both have room to be shaved down for safety if desired).
There really is not an issue with the diesel pulley and VR6 water pump pulley. They do not touch, there is probably only 1 mm clearance but they dont rub. I was just pointing it out for safety reasons. That is personally alittle too close for me. And as I said eithet the flat water pump pulley could be turned down, or the outer belt guides of the crank pulley can be turned down a few mm to give a little more room. Fitting the belt in either case is not a problem.
