Gti-6 - No Pas, Aircon, Etc Etc...

[Stu 18]

Ive been searching round for answers and found nothing conclusive if i want to run my '6 engine with no pas pump, aircon etc just the alternator, is there an XU10 bracket that does this? Im aware of the Rallye setup, but this retains the PAS pump, i dont want to do keep that, just want to run the alternator..

 

Anyone?

I cut the bottom half of the top engine mount off and pivoted the alternator to tension the belt.

 

I can make you up a tensioner of you want, i'll copy one iv'e got. You use the old AC holes on sump

i also used the xu10 bracket with the extra bits cut off.

 

just fabbed up a bracket to tension the alternator mounted to the bottom of the std xu10 mount, pretty easy really

Theres loads of stuff on here about doing that and there are many ways around it also, Ive used the brackets off the S16 engine on the ones that Ive done in the past, gets rid of that stupid great big heavy ancillaries carrier at the same time !

Ive attached a few pics to help you out and you'll need a 6PK720 belt avail from any good motor factor or local branch of Halfwits
