bypass AC compressor on Hyundai ACCENT
Hi,
I'm not very experienced at mechanics, but I was wondering if it is possible to bypass the air conditioner compressor on a 1998 Hyundai Accent 4 cylinder with a longer V-belt? You see, a few days ago my car started to make a really bad noise when I was driving, and I was having trouble in certain instances turning the steering wheel. The noise would get louder when I turned the steering wheel from side to side. And when I'd turn it, lights would go on in the dashboard such as the low battery indicator and etc. Then the other day I tried to start up my car, but it wouldn't start up anymore. It wants to turn over, but it won't. It looks like something is seized down there as if the bearings to one of the pulleys has given out, and now the V-belt(s) won't turn adequately. My first guess is that the power steering pump has given out, but it could possibly be that the AC compressor has given out, and now everything is seized up down there. I have rotated the power steering pump pulley and there doesn't seem to be a drag there; the resistance to force seems to be coming from the AC compressor pulleys. Since the AC and powersteering pump pulley run on their own separate small V-belt, perhaps a messed up AC compressor with worn out bearings caused the power steering to drag? So I'm wondering if it's possible, if I were to get a longer belt, could I bypass the AC compressor completely and wrap the Vbelt around the other pulleys so as to keep everything else running on the car? And if you have done something similar to this before, how long of a belt would I need? thanks |
