Thread: TD5 AOB 2nd compressor location/configuration

Definatley a TD5, would be interested to know how much of the wheel surround had to be removed

sorry, I don't have any pics, but the ones that have been posted show the drive belt in a way that will not do the job.

There needs to be a idler pulley located in between the 2 compressors to provide a minimum of 150° of drive belt wrap around each compressor pulley.

An idler pulley (as located standard between the alternator/vacuum pump pulley and the crank pulley) needs to be mounted.

The set up shown in the middle picture shows a belt wrap of less than 90° - this will lead to a very early drive belt failure and probably AC compressor clutch failure as well due to overheating.
