Air con belt without aircon

[Chiffs]

Want to remove my aircon compressor therefore need a shorter belt.

Can I use the uk R non ac belt?

Saw a thread about using some 825 (length) belt from halfords but cant find it anymore :roll:

thanks chiffs

yes, the uk belt is fine.

The Halfords 825e belt is quite tight, you'll probably have to pry it on with a screwdriver, with the alternator screwed in as close as possible. The next belt up is the 845e, which is a bit on the loose side, even with the alternator screwed all the way out

Also, the Halfords belt is only a 4 rib belt, whereas the Nissan belt is 6 rib, and probably a better fit..... I've got the Halfords 825 on mine, but wish I'd forked out and got the Nissan one, as I think I may be knackering my alternator bearing...

there tight then :!:

will go get one tommorrow

Dont use any of the Halfords belts. Neither are a good fit and both being 4 rib will likely slip.

Refer to this post to see the one I got

The Nissan Aircon belt is 6rib. The Nissan non aircon bet is shown as 4rib in the manual. As long as the belt is tensioned properly it shouldn't slip wether it's a 4 rib or 6rib

I used Halfords 4 rib and as said if it's tensioned up properly it will not slip.
