Thread: Endless air on TDI

Hiya Diff.

Have a look at this setup from Defender200Tdi:

Hi Diff

Are we talking Disco or Defender, and do you already have the factory A/C fitted? It you don't have A/C already you can simply get the factory brackets and belt to mount it all up.

Presuming you do have factory A/C, then I believe you can get an extra V belt pulley that bolts onto the front of your exisiting crank pulley to allow you to run a single v belt to the compressor. You may have to source it out of the UK though, unless you can find something off another vehicle type here in Oz that you can make fit.

Thank you Grissly Adams and Defender200TDI. I should have mentioned that it is on a 96 Discovery. I just gave it a wash and had a look. No spare pulleys and really no room. I think its a dead loss . Its just this type of system using an airconditioning compressor pumps your tyres up in no time even without a tank. The ARB compressor seems to struggle and take too long. My Super Cheap $60 bit of rubbish takes just as long to do the job then has to sit their for 15minutes befor cool enough to put in the bag.

Hi Diff

I've had this system on my '95 Disco 300 TDI for the last five years and it works really well. It's way faster than other compressors.

The air compressor is run by replacing the aircon belt idler pulley with a custom made pulley which has both serpentine and V drive.

The tyre compressor then has its own tensionong system.

G'day Cobra,

Any chance of some pix? As currently comtemplating this also

THX in advance

Cobra,

sounds promising. Did you do the system yourself? Is the idler conversion something you purchase or can make? and finally where is the compressor placed, under the air compressor?

Like LRH said pictures would be great!

Hi Diff

I did it all myself except the machining of the drive pulley which a mate of mind did on a lathe.

The job is not that difficult surprisingly, it just takes a bit of time fooling around.

Post your email address Diff, and I'll send you the pics.

If your in WA, I'll show you the finished job.

Regards
Rudi
