A/C pulley help
A/C pulley help
So the ac pulley broke off the compressor. The belt came off, so no p/s and the alternator isn't running. So I need to get my car to the Acura dealership which is bout 70miles away. Is there a belt I can get to bypass the ac to drive it to the dealership? It's an 04 TL. I'll post up some picks later from my phone, never seen anything like this... Started my making a winding and grinding noise then it stopped and the battery light came on and p/s went out.
With the way the belt is routed, looks like a smaller belt coming off the idler than around the balancer would work in a pinch, but length is unknown. Move the tensioner outward and wrap a tape around the routing to get an approximate length, then when the tensioner is released it should tighten the belt.
If it's headed to the Acura dealer, hope the bank account is healthy. The A/C compressor/clutch is around $700 while aftermarket units $150/$250, plus the labor and other small parts.
Good luck
