I am wanting to toss the A/C compressor as air con system is kaput! Can anyone tell me of a belt that will fit if compressor is removed?

It's basically being used as a spacer @ moment & the extra weight could be better lost for my particular build, not to mention added space for IC pipe routing that would be attained this way.

Thanks for any help guys

I don't have an MB part number but for the M103 without a compressor, it's a 6 rib belt 2170 mm in length

well @ least that's a big start. Thanks heaps

http://contibelts.com/lit_catalogs.asp click on the "import belt application catalog" on the right side. You should also be able to find a Gates belt catalog on the internet somewhere. Most dealers should be able to special order any size.

If the length is 2170 then just have a parts supplier get you a 6PK-2170, preferrably a continental.
