Not Corrado but Leon TDI

Recommended Posts

Ok its my daily drive... 40 miles each way to work.. (Glossop in the high peak)

 

So my aircon is making unreal rattles I investigate today and find the compressor pulley is in bits..

 

The (what I call) spider at the front of the pulley is sheared off and spinning free and the rest of thr internals are bouncing round inside. The bearings are fine and so is the electro-magnet. If I press the AC button the rattles stop so all is magnatizing well.

 

So its just a case of removing the main nut and popping off the bust bits and replacing with scrappy sourced bits..

 

So being as the spider is all sheared.....How does one remove said main nut to get all the bust bit off :nuts: As I try to jam the pulley the centre spindl still turns obviousley the nut is threaded to it.. In all this the actual pulley n belt is not moving. This is due to as we know its a kind of passive pulley til you turn on the AC.

 

By Spider I mean the fron plate you can see it on this sourced shot of shiny new bit. I know you can use an AC clutch tool for this but it only works when all is on one piece I reckon.

 

All responce greatfully received :notworthy:
