Xantia 2.0 HDi AC bypass belt.

[Edhertz]

My ac compressor clutch is making a dreadfull noise so will need to be sorted and bypassed for the time being. Could one of you good people please tell me what size belt I need,
Cheers in advance

Please provide the VIN for this vehicle Alan, so I can give you accurate information.

You won't get the answer for a bodge belt from service.citroen Marc

Just get the old belt off Ed and then measure round the pulleys to see what length you need.

There's a few choices on there, depending if it's a Sanden or Delphi compressor...

[Edhertz]

Not sure what make it is but I'll take it off and do some measurements,
Cheers for replies folks

If you want the official part numbers and data listed for the belt, I'll need the VIN Alan. Just post it here, it will be masked from public view once you submit the post automatically by our software. Staff can see it.

Marc, he is looking for a short belt that he can thread around the crank, alternator, pump and tensioner, bypassing the noisy compressor pulley.

I think that a search of the forum may answer the question, but there were different arrangements of pulleys over the years, so nothing is certain.

Ok, now I understand what Richard was on about regarding a 'Bodge Belt'

Not very clear from the original post, as I read it that he was going to to a bypass until he got an original new belt. Thanks for the clarification, I won't waste any more time on it.
