ok, i majorly f'ed up today. I tightened my belt for my powersteering and AC a little too tight and it shredded my belt. I have no clue what belt to replace it with. I have the original containers that my belts came in but i dont know which one is which. Can you guys help me?? also if do you know if you can just run your power steering and not the AC?? Since it is winter time i dont need it. Thanks

i'm using a 490k5, does that mean my UDP is smaller than the AFX UDP?

thank you very much, i got one but i wanted to wait till i could find out about not running AC for the wintertime and just having Power steering. Is this possible??

it would be hard to tighten the belt

hey TJ, you can sit there and take loosen the bolts on the PS pump and the use a smaller belt and use the PS pump as the tensioner. i did this cause i thought that my ac compressoser went bad but it didnt' so now i'm stuck without ac cause i lost the bolt.

You should leave the belt on the ac compressor, 1st, You will be taking a chance of the compressor seizing up durring the winter, 2nd, the compressor removes moisture from the system which aids in un-foging and defrosting the windshield. ;)

ummm really cause i seem to be able to defrost my windshield no prob. plus we live in florida and it doesn't get that cold here.
