Aircon pump bearings needs replacement ASAP, any advice(22R)

[naasburger]

After all the rain we went driving through a few rivers, and after my Hilux have been standing for a week, I noticed the small adjuster pully made a terrible noise. I replaced that pully and the noise was gone.

Now after another week, the Aircon pump is making a funny noise, it used to make a noise only when the aircon was in use, so knew the bearings inside was going, but now its making a noise when the aircon is not in use as well.

I want to sort it out, but someone told me its not a job I can do myself, aircon people need to do it. Does anybody know of some place in the east rand that will do good job at a reasonable price, or can it be done myself?

I'll just take it for regass afterwards.

Best to take it in for them to sort out.

Ek dink ok so Ewald, wil nie rond neek nie, maar als is geld. Het n ou gebel, hy se as dit net die pully is R850, as dit die pomp is moet hy replace word, so R2500.

Gaan maar Saterdag vat lat hulle kyk.

Ek kan dalk n compleet Cresida 3L kry vir R9000, dan het ek die engine, harnas, computer, airfilter system, autobox ens. Wat dink jy?

[DOELLOOS]

Klink goed, maar ek dink jy kan dalk goedkoper regkom deur 'n ingevoerde enjin (R4500 - R5500) met min kms en nuwe Dicktator (R2500) te koop. Ek sal nie vir die auto ratkas gaan nie, want die ratios sal nie lekker werk op jou bakkie nie. Bly by die standaard boks.

Air flow meter ens. kan moeilikheid gee. Onthou maar net dat wat jy ookal doen, die hele conversion sal jou meer as R20K uit die sak jaag as jy gelukkig is. Werk so op R25K, en dan sal dit beter wees om dit maar liewer net te laat doen vir dieselfde geld.

Naas... Ek stem nie baie gereeld met my ou maat Ewald saam nie, maar in hierdie geval kan ek nie anders nie. :D

Die paar duisend rand wat jy gaan spaar deur die conversion self te doen is beslis nie die frustrasies en grys hare werd nie. Laat liewer die conversion doen deur iemand wat ondervinding het van daai partikulere konversie. :)

Ek het al gesien hoe 'n ou self die conversion gedoen het en op die ou einde net 'n paar honderd rand gespaar het maar dit het hom meer as 'n jaar gevat om al die pyne uit te sort...

En stick met die handratkas, hy werk baie lekker saam met die 7M-GE motor. :D

M2CW... :arrow: :arrow: :arrow:

Hi, Naas

I have used Harrack Auto Air in Selby, Jhb a few times and have to say I was very happy with their work and price. They fixed my Jeep for R 1 200.00 when the stealers quoted me R 8 000.00! :evil:

Any way here is their address and number:

171 Eloff Ext
Selby
Johannesburg
Phone 011 4931400

[naasburger]

Dankie Thys en Ewald, waardeer die hulp en raad, ek dink ok dis beter om dit te laat doen.

Ewald, doen daai SupraTech die conversion met die gewone non-turbo 7MGE enjin ook?

Thanx Johan for the info, I will give them a call tomorrow to get a quote. I can just imagine what the steelers will ask me!

I replaced the pully bearing on my 22R myself.

From what I remember:

1) Remove the v belt.
2) Unloosen the mounting bolts - just to get enough movement on the pump to work with.
3) If I recall, there is a bolt and a circlip holding the pully on.
4) Remove the pully and take it to a bearing supply.
5) Match up bearing, and buy - R55 about 4 years ago.
6) Take to your local "service / garage / engineer man" with a press.
7) Press out old bearing, press in new. Cost zero.
8) Assemble.

Sounds good, thats what I thought I would do as well.

I took it in this morning and it seems its only the pulley bearings making the noise. Isnt it a story to strip the clutch mechanism that ingages and disingages the clutch when switching it on and off inside the car?

I far as I can remember, it was a straight forward job. Not more than a half hour on both sides of coming off and then back on. One or two nuts, a curclip and voila.

The clutch mechanism I think is actually a elecro magnetic system, and does not hamper the removal of the pully in the least.

Give it a bash...... worst case scenario, you tighten the bolt back up and take it to the workshop.......

You'll be surprised how "cheap" R850 bucks can be if you have a 10mm, 13mm, 17mm & 19mm socket, coupled with a curclip pliers.......

Hi,

Ek het 'n AC pomp, wat werk. Ek kan hom nie gebruik nie omdat die brackets verkeerd is vir my diesel enjin. Ek sal 'n foto van hom neem dan kan ons dalk 'n deal uitwerk as jy sou belangstel om hom aan te skaf vir onderdele.

[naasburger]

Baie dankie

Dit sal gaaf wees, myne is oppad uit, en ek moet kyk na n ander een. Stuur maar die foto dat ek kyk of dit dieslefde een is en dan kan jy my my n prys gee.

Groete

Naas
