Anyone ?

 

I've done some measurements and ordered a 6PK1706 belt to do the exact same thing, l'll keep you informed how it goes

 

This sounds interesting, look foward to hearing how it goes

 

Ok so I fitted the 6PK1706 belt and bypassed the aircon compressor, everything's fine but there's not much tensioner travel left to compensate for the belt bedding in or wearing, I'm going to leave it at that for now and see how it goes, If I was doing it again I would use a 6PK1690 that would give me another 8mm of pre load on the tensioner.

 

Hi just wondering if this lasted. I have the same problem. Ac pulley is winning and I want to buy pass it. Is the 6pk1619 ok or should I go a bit shorter. ? Thank you

 

Sorry I mean split 1690

Yeah it lasted a good few months until i realised my problem lay elsewhere and i removed it and put it back to standard. Any shorter than 1690 and you will struggle to get it on

 

Tensioner and idler usually are the main one for whining/ rattle but my compressor pully has also fallen off before

 

Great thank you. Going with the 1690. Af just can’t afford a new ac unit at mo.

Hi guys i have a 2006 320d e90 my ac is whining real bad and the pulley feels loose with the belt off i can't afford to replace the whole thing yet if i bypass it will the 6pk1690 fit or go up a few mm say the 6pk1692 also anyone have a diagram how the belt would fit without the compressor thanks guys i have a feeling the pulley is going to come off and the noise is insane so any help would be massively appreciated thanks

So turns out it is the ac compressor that was making the noise i have bypassed it using a 6pk1692 belt i only bypassed the ac unit not the idle pulley and works fine. I have a new clutch unit on the way so will have ac again when it's too hot. Thanks again guys

Sorry to raise an old thread, im looking to bypass my A/C pulley. Do you have a picture of the belt route that you used when bypassing your A/C.
Thanks.👍🏻

 

Did you get an answer to this, as I’m hoping to do the same until I can replace the clutch pulley.

 

I have a 2006 e91 M47 my a/c is the variable swash plate type without the A/C clutch I can have a look what size I used when I did this previously.

Mines a 55 plate e91 so would be the same I’m guessing? Just want a temporary solution while I get the parts to sort the AC compressor out, thanks

 

This is a rough sketch of mine. Is it the same?

 

Yeah that’s just like mine, the PAS pump belt has to come off first to get a new belt on and it’s a stretch fit one, right pain to.

 

Ok, I will go have a look at the size and message back. The PAS pump is not too bad if you have the special tool to do it.

So you say your AC compressor has a clutch on it and not the bakerlit black pully?

 

A special tool for everything on these cars, that’s one I haven’t got yet. This is what mine looks like.

 

Original belt - 6PK1836S

Shorter belt - 6PK1675 to bypass AC pulley.

And route it like the red line, the belt pully will put some tension on the belt its just my sketch is slightly out.

 

Yes same as mine, that is not a clutch pully as you mentioned in your first post. Your ac pump is engaged all the time and has a variable swash plate to adjust demand.

What is wrong with your ac pully?

 

Right online, they are calling them a clutch pulley.? do you have a part number for the one you have? My one is making a horrible noise started as a sound like hydraulic taping noise turned into more of a knocking noise..

 

I think that is the correct part but I am positive it does not have a clutch in it. Its permanently screwed onto the main shaft. There is a safety feature that will break if the ac pump seizes.

 

 

That’s the one, apparently it’s reverse thread so anti clockwise to undo the centre bolt.

 

Its not a center bolt it is the main shaft of the compressor. You will need to grip the pulley very tight and turn the shaft anti clockwise. I have never tried this on the car. When I removed a pulley on my old damaged ac pump to take it apart I removed the compressor from the car held the pully with the drive belt around the pully tight and secured in a vice and turned the shaft with a small socket.

I think you will find it hard to grip the pully to stop it turning while it is still on the car, can not remember how much room there is. I suspect to nip it free after all this time will be difficult.

 

To be honest about the pulley, I am uncertain what you listed above is the correct one, it looks the same and they are referred to as magnetic clutch pulley. I know for fact there is no solenoid to engage or disengage your pulley as its fixed. I did not smash one open to look inside. There maybe different types of this pulley for different models.

 

Did it work with 6pk1675 or 6pk1690? Which one is better? I have the same problem with my ac bearing whining.
