People who have removed aircon. What aux belt?
« on: March 21, 2014, 08:06:41 pm »
As above, who has removed their aircon?

If so, what aux belt did you use?

Can't really find anything online about it..

I bought one by mistake and sold it to a member on here who fitted it to his ED30.

06F903137L and it is 21.36x953mm (ETKA displays different ones for the BYD engine).

Worth double checking this is still the up to date belt for the ED30.
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

Above is still the current part number for both the BWA and BYD engines and the up-to date price is £17:63 full retail inc vat

Driving with Aircon on will lower MPG and having it running with a Single Mass Flywheel will probably cause more chatter, but what other benefit come with this mod please ? First time I'm heard of people removing it !?

Unrestricted air flow to the Intercooler for a start and the weight saving is pretty significant.

Was sitting thinking about it and yes it did click about the airflow being better and I suppose the weight saving is a plus, I just tend to be adding more power rather than concentrating on shedding any unwanted weight. Maybe worth starting to think about. Anyone tried running on Slimfast instead of V-Power ? ;)
