Hi

I threw my air con belt at Willowbank last night. Can I get a replacement from somewhere like Autobarn? And what's involved with fitting it?

Regards, Dan

Common problem with ve's is throwing the ac belt. I threw mine on a road trip. Can't help you with purchasing one as I took mine to the ac place as I thought it was something else. Though, I reckon you could go to super cheap or similar and get one. Have to take main belt off, place new belt on balancer and ac pump, and get a spanner on the spring loaded adjuster and move it in enough to put new belt on and let it off to take up the slack. Something along those lines anyways, lol. If your handy with mechanical stuff you'll figure it out

Thanks for that - I should be OK with it.
