jus want to check iv got the right one: Nissan Belt A172M-59SUR i cant move the pump anymore evn tho theres space for adjustment, it wont budge any further and the pulley is out by about 6-7mm with belt on

nice one, maybe this can be moved to the FAQ area???

bump

did you sort it bud?

mine was done at kind of mates rates, but i think your looking at least a grand for a full respray in same colour without stripping the car

i have a pair of lap belts from my old zed £25 and they are yours

hour at the most... follow upto 11 of this (dont bother with the petcock, just take off th lower rad hose) then remove the water pipes (you'll need a long reach allen key) this picture shows the water pipes u need to check behind the rubber ones

remove rad, fan assembly and main water pipes

remove red bolts first, then green ones (all 14mm apart from the one through the cam cover which is 8mm and the one on top of the compressor holding the pipe) you need a flexi-socket to undo the arrowed bolt

compressor is bolted to the bottom right hand side of the engine (looking from front) you want to remove everything outside the green box undo circled connection, cut red lines as far back as you can

the small one under the filter (front side of electric fan) is the engine oil cooler. the one on the engine side of the electric fan is the ac rad.

first you need to release the pressure from the system, theres a pipe with a plastic valve cap near the battery take that off and let gas out (not to atmosphere of course :P) then just undo two screws at top of ac rad, bend forward and chop the pipes as far back as you can. remove the little bottle at the front too (trace pipework from rad) two 10mm bolts hold bracket to car. might as well remove compressor and bracket while your at it seeing as your air con will no longer work

Happy birthday david!

you can strip down to the water pipes and check them, i thought my water pump was knackered but the leak was from one of the small metal water pipes, they had both corroded badly. cost about £50 for the pair from mjp. had water pump and timing belt changed at same time as i have no record of if/when they were last done.

do any of you have a dremel with a cutting wheel i can borrow, need to cut some holes in the boot panels for rear strut brace... Yas

ohhhhhh i thought you got the big disk upgrade :slap:

was definately old gti and r32, i have it on my comp. the r32 weighs almost twice the gti which is the problem

no need to grind down a good spanner :tongue: mickey came to the rescue and sorted it, i am now completely A/C and HICAS free :dance:

i think you mean £450 ant lol :p

well of course, don't want you having it too easy now do we :p

today i managed to strip ALL the hicas stuff from the car and remove the a/c rad and condenser :dance: i gave up trying to remove the top rear bolt on the compressor bracket, absolute PITA! how the hell do you get it off? :confused: Yas

f8ckers, need a good hiding :mac1:
