Fellow listers,
This afternoon, the replacement A/C compressor seized, burning up the belt. As the compressor is on warranty, I'm sure I'll get another one, however, until it arrives, I still have to drive the car.
Do belts exist of proper length that I can apply and bypass the A/C compressor entirely? Or, did all 850s come with A/C? Since I won't need the compressor until about five months from now, why stress the compressor/clutch bearings?
Plus, I need the car, especially this week and I have no time to screw around with a car collecting dust in the shop, until the part arrives.
Any advice?
