My A/C suddenly quit working. After doing some research and looking at things on my car, it looks like the problem is that a breakaway part of the pulley broke. According to this post, I'm thinking it broke because my alternator overrun pulley is locked up (I tested to confirm that):

I've found new alternator pulleys from normal VW parts suppliers. However, finding the A/C pulley has been a little harder. I found what looks like it would work on AliExpress:

Has anyone fixed their A/C pulley with one of these?
