Hello all, I'm trying to get my AC running on my stock d15b2 which did not have an AC belt when I purchased it two years ago. I picked one up and when I put it on there was way too much slack. Tried tensioning using the tensioner, but it is already at it's highest setting. Is there an adjusting bracket on the compressor? I did not see one.

This is how my setup looks with the belt on:

Clearly you have too big of a belt.

I forgot the right size, its easy to look up tho. That's not it.

 

nevermind, just got back to my desk and looked it up. it does seem like the right part number if you get it aftermarket. (was confusing it with the alternator belt numbers i have in my head) not 100% if its correct, i always get it from the dealer anyway.

but, there is a different belt for the sanden and matsushita compressors. perhaps you got the wrong one.

 

Ok thanks, I didn't know they came with two different compressors. I'm gonna see if I find the other belt.
