Typically one would go to a local auto parts store and have them help you. Do a visual. Use a string to take ruff measurements. As there's no set belt option for bypassing the a/c pulley. It's normally not recommended. A/c systems left idle/static for too long cost more to repair than say the original issue. Likely right now you have a leak. If left in static state, prolly be replacing the pump/compessor as well.
The way they do that is replace the pump with bypass pulley. That way you can use the stock belt.
- I think there's a leak near my a/c compressor in my car? My ac in my ford taurus stopped cooling for a second and i saw smoke or steam from under the hood by the compressor. I smelled a plastic-ish smell through the vents. When i shut the car off, i hear the sound of air leaking from somewhere maybe? It cooled back off when i started the car again. Just not as cool as it should for being a compressor barely a year old.
- Should I buy a Ford Focus Zx3 or should I look for a different car? I'm a male going to college as a sophmore next semester (this car will be my first car). Should I buy a stick or an automatic (I don't know how to drive a stick at the moment, but I'm willing to learn)? What do you think would be more fun? Do you think a ford focus Zx3 is a good car for me or do you have any other car suggestions?
- I have a 2004 Ford focus zx3 and I'm wondering the cost of changing it to manual from automatic? I want to start modifying my car but its automatic but I'm not really sure what the price of it is. Or do you think i should just get a new car that has manual transmission?
