I just had 3 belts replaced, timing, A/c and alternator/power steering. Noticed that the A/c belt is a short one in that it does not go around the bottom crankshaft pulley but uses the top pulley. Will that cause any problems.

Im not sure why they would have done that because the ac belt is spose to go around the crankshaft pully. But I dont think it will cause any problemsOriginally Posted by LSBob

SupporterOnly problem I can think of is it will retard the viscous fan somewhat when the A/C clutch is engaged and pumping. It would have the potential for slipping and squeeling. Id take it back and say "You got paid to do a job. Would you mind terribly doing it right."
Or some such

I'd suggest getting the proper length belt -4pk 1320 - the center bearing is something you do not want to ruin by overload. The short belt fix sounds dodgy.

Thanks. I have to return it as while I told the mechanic when I dropped it in what work had to be done, the boss came in at the end so only did what he heard! I wanted a service done as it was due plus the timing beltbut he only did the belt and not the service!
