Air con pump. Wont turn unless air con is turned on (magnetic clutch)

Cheers mate and thank feck though it was somthing serious :hyper:

Nope, thats the one above isnt it, lol.

 

Now im jsut getting myself confused.

 

Its the crank pulley.

The one you have circled is defo the air con belt adjuster pully and should be turning when ever the engine turns, however its very common for them to seize, but would normally expect the belt to be noisy, unless it is slack and slipping over it.

Check it when there is more light.

Gone and checked it again from near cold and belt has become noisy when now starting up rev it a couple of times and noise goes.

I have had belts recently changed. They have been bedding in. Hopefully just slack. I assume aircon is not a cheap fix.

Its literally just a small pulley with a bolt through it on a bracket that keeps tension/adjustment on the aircon belt. You may be able to free it up yourself, or should be cheap from MJP or one of the zed breakers.

I think when my aircon decides to pack up il just dump the lot, but il enjoy it while its working for now.

love the way the belt says MADE IN JAPAN yeeeeaaa roy!
