Title: disconnecting a/c drive belt
Post by markjarge on Oct 9^th, 2006, 10:25am

hi, after getting thru 2 a/c compressors this year, i've decided to try running my 1998 2.3 ultima auto with a shorter belt that bypasses the a.c compressor completely. having read all i can, all i discovered is that there does not seem to be a belt listed for the auto without a/c. does anyone know if this is possible ?, and if so, which belt do i use ? and is the configuration the same ? Cheers. Mark.

Hi, I had a 2.3 manual with a shorter belt on it to bypass the aircon compressor so there must be one, maybe its listed under the manual ?

Or just disconnect the electrical connection from the compressor?

hmm, good idea but the bearings have gone on the a/c pulley so its gotta go, also there r 2 belts listed 4 the 2.0 ; 2 belts listed 4 the 2.3 manual ; but only one belt listed 4 the 2.3 auto ? ........do you still think the 2.3 manual belt will fit.....?

Cant think why it wouldn't but wait for some knowledgable 2.3 guys to appear before you buy one :)

Cany you buy it and return it if it doesnt fit?

In conclusion : there is another belt that is not listed on this site, it fits the 2.3 auto without a/c ! its not the same as the 2.3 manual belts ! I don't hav the finis number but i got it from ford for about £35. Brilliant site, keep up the excellent work :) Mark.
