2.4l Galant AC Bypass Belt or Pulley Question

Hello all,

My daughter has a 01 Galant ES 2.4l that the AC compressor froze on. Has anyone successfully bypassed the Compressor on a Galant. If so, what size belt did you use or pulley.

Please do not respond with guessing. I know that this can be done on other cars, but I have not found any proof that it can be done with this car.

Anyone with experience with the 2.4l motor please hook me up with some info.

Thanks!

Paul

With the way that the belt is run, the a/c compressor is needed to run the belt properly. The tensioner wouldn't have enough leverage to tighten the belt.

Thanks for the response. I really appreciate it although, I was hoping you weren't going to say that. The shop wants about $1k to repair.
