Noisy Air Con Pulley

[recce]

Anyone know the price and part number for the air con pulley? Its the small pulley that can be adjusted to tension the belt. Mine is making a lot of noise. Cheers!

While I haven't done an R33 one specifically, I have found that R31/R32 idler pulleys (and earlier) use a replaceable bearing which costs maybe $10. I'd be surprised if R33 wasn't the same. Suggest removing the idler and take it to a bearing specialist who should be able to supply a replacement....might even push the old one out and put in the new one for you. Note, when you take the pulley off also remove the aircon belt completely plus keep a track of the position of any bolts/nuts, etc so that you can put everything back together correctly.

Of course, if you not sure, you could just take it to a mechanic but be prepared to pay 'a bit more'......
