2.5TDS Aircon Pump Failure

Bericht door Markwast » 22 aug 2012, 06:05

Hi All
Was overtaking a lorry up a hill last week, felt the old car had no power, when smoke filled the car. I pulled over thinking something was on fire but found the belt to the aircon pump shredded. Pump is seized solid. Once the remains of the belt had been removed, i carried on.
My questions are....
1/what caused pump to seize and can it be repaired?
2/how can i get heat to demist windscreen now?

by the way, car feels more spritly now so it must have been on its way for a while.

Thanks

Did the airco still work?

The airco pump has a free ride when not working. When you start the airco a magnet will pull the pulley to the pump and set the airco working. When fluid level is too low the airco will not work. If it's seezed while not working the pulley (including the magnet assembly) can be dismantled and changed. The pump will then run normal again. If the pump zeized while working, the whole pump should be replaced.
