Just checking.
I've been told the adjusters/adjustment for the aux belt on my turbo is part of or connected to the AC pump. Since I no longer have an AC pump I have no adjustment and whilst its quite tight it will slip if it gets wet - puddles etc.
Sound ok?

I can comment on this, as my 951 initially had A/C with a tightener which I then subseqently removed the compressor.

The difference between the two setup is simple:

Shorter belt on cars without A/C

Different mounting bracket that bolts onto the block.

The same tensioner rod (larger version of the PAS pump) is used to tension the belt.

So, in answer to your question even without A/C you will still be able to tension the belt correctly using the rod system.
 
mmmn.
I had the AC compressor removed a couple of years ago as it was making a horrible noise and a shorter belt was fitted.
I've now been told the adjuster went with the compressor - is that possible?
I know what you mean regarding the type of adjustor but could it have been removed?
I have no charging problems I simply asked for the belt to be tightened a little.
 
David to do the job properly you need an aircon delete kit which changes the bracket. I have replied to your other post about the compressor if you are interested in that route. If not I would contact either elliot or sulzeruk (alasdair) for the right parts to move the alterntor and supply an adjusting rod.

without seeing your set-up it's difficult to comment, I suspect that they may have removed the AC compressor and fitted a shorter non-porsche belt. To revert to a non- AC setup with a 944 you usually need a different location bracket (and hood at the back of the alternator) as the alternator sits in a different position ?
 
Thanks both. I suspect you are right Chris and a shorter belt has simply been stretched over which seemed "good enough" at the time.
I'll keep an eye out for a AC compressor or more likely a delete kit.
 
David like I said I am sure either elliot or sulzeruk will supply you with what you need at a very reasonable price [:)]
