Can it be driven??
Hi, just a question, my aircon motor siezed up today and subsequently
caused the belt to snap also.
My question is, can I still drive without the aircon motor and belt
that drives it?
and what sort of costs are involved in replacing the motor?
The car is a 2000 A4 SE.
Any advice appreciated, thanks.

spose you can drive, but your battery will soon go flat, as its run off the
serpentine belt, the ACC belt. this in turn runs the altenator.
The pump? do you mean the compressor if so they are quite expensive but you
can pick them up from scraper's now or even ebay etc.
Otherwise I would imagine recon about £500.00 try www.gsfcarparts.co.uk if
your in the UK they do ship int as well
I may be wrong though
but I think thats how its set upV6 may be different to a 4 cyl though

Thanks for the info ronny, Its a 1.8 V5 engine, and the part Iam
talking about is located at the front left side of engine, down quite
low to the left, looks like an electrical motor type thing, but not
sure if this is the compressor or the pump. any ideas, thanks.
Ps Iam in the UK.

If the belt is gone then I can't see why you can't drive it because its
running off the main crank & there is nothing else on the same belt - the
alternator, waterpump & power steering are all run off the main Serpantine
belt by the looks of it. That said I'd call Audi and/or the guys at
Wheelbase (www.wheelbase.uk.com) to check - don't take my word for it!

Lots I should think - try GSF or the scrapper - see what Audi say as well -
sometimes the difference between GSF parts & Audi parts is big, sometimes it
isn't. Look for someone who will do it on an exchange basis for you as well.

It looks like it might be a pretty big job to get in there to replace the
thing as well. Prepare for £2-300 of labour just to get in there & deal with
it if you give it to a dealer. I would think its a complete Lock carrier
removal job (either that or bank on spending your weekend with a Haynes
manual for company!) They might be able to do it from underneath but somehow
I doubt it.
If it does involve taking the front of the car apart then depending on
mileage you might also think about doing a cambelt change & also changing
the Serpantine belt while you are in there given how much time its going to
take to get the thing apart.
