yeah I just found that out. The part number is 06J 145 172 the problem is they are over $400 for some reason.There's an oem dummy pulley you have to use along with a shorter belt. Skoda and some of the other vw brands sold cars in other countries without ac and used this engine, I'll try to find the part number for you tomorrow when I get to my PC but you could probably Google and find it.
Yeah they're expensive for what it is. They're priced like that because none of the parts suppliers here carry them so the overseas market knows that and price gouges them. Next time I go to London for work I'm going to try and pick one up.yeah I just found that out. The part number is 06J 145 172 the problem is they are over $400 for some reason.
Yeah the weight saving is a bonus im mostly doing it to get rid of the ac lines in my bay. So your saying use the alternator as a tansioner basically?You get some weight savings, but performance wise the compressor acts as just a pulley when you're not using it.
You might get lucky with a smaller pulley or bearing on the tensioner itself using a shorter belt, but I know clearance is tight.
Another option would be to remove the tensioner entirely, and try to create some adjustment on the alternator bolts.
I’ll check that out thank you.vwpartsvortex has it for $375. Cheapest place you'll likely find it.
Jay can you go to London again and get one of these for me? Will paypal you for your trouble.Yeah they're expensive for what it is.

AC is for fat people, women, and fat women.Has anyone done an ac delete on their mk6? looking to delete mine because im tucking my bay but was wondering how to delete the compressor because you cant just use a shorter belt. Any ideas?
Your pic is of an fsi motor. Doesn't work the same on a tsi.AC is for fat people, women, and fat women.
Why can't you use a shorter belt? I did. I bought a 950mm belt from beltplace for about $20 shipped including government armed robbery: https://beltpalace.com/6pk950.html
