grimm · 06-11-2008, 08:24 PM

need another pulley

IMPREZvWRX · 06-11-2008, 08:25 PM

Try a 2008 belt that requires no pulley.

RyanG · 06-11-2008, 09:51 PM

it doesn't need a pulley because the a/c compressor is adjustable. The belt alone wont do squat.

Grimm- go to Subaru. I believe they have an updated pulley now

IMPREZvWRX · 06-11-2008, 10:38 PM

There's a tool that the '08 belt comes with that stretches the belt on. That's why the belt costs what it does. As far as I know, the compressor and its mount is the same as the previous years.

RyanG · 06-11-2008, 11:10 PM

hmmm.. im gonna have to check. Havent spent much time under an 08 to fully say. I could have sworn that the compressor was adjustable

IMPREZvWRX · 06-11-2008, 11:15 PM

A quick search shows plenty of threads on other forums (3GWRX.com, IWSTI, etc) and manufacturer instructions (Group A, Perrin) saying that a new belt with the tool is required to install a crank pulley on an 08 Impreza.

grimm · 06-13-2008, 02:26 PM

why is it that you can no longer order parts from a dealer over the phone or online? this is such crap. I need a $13 part and unless i go to the dealer they won't order it for me!!! Oh and they are all closed on saturdays!!

yakshi · 07-03-2008, 01:33 AM

grimm · 06-23-2009, 10:11 AM

will that belt fit? it's $60 rather not spend $60 to be a guinea pig.

disturbedfan121 · 06-23-2009, 10:39 AM

is there an aftermarket metal pulley? or will another pulley work from another subaru or any other car?

R22B · 06-23-2009, 12:11 PM

LOL damn grimm.

You go threw things like a fat person going through hot wings.

grimm · 06-23-2009, 01:58 PM

right... WTF!! i jsut want to fix this so the belt squeal goes away. so annoying.

06WRBScoob · 06-23-2009, 02:22 PM

dont want to sound retarted but are you over tightining? doesent take a ton of pressure

grimm · 06-23-2009, 02:44 PM

it is possible. the last one i didn't think would have been over tightened since i could easily twist the belt almost 90 degrees. so top and bottom were now left and right. what happened was where the tensioner bolt threads thru the plastic, the plastic snapped. the other 2 times i wasn't the one touching it so who knows.

turbosmac02 · 06-23-2009, 09:50 PM

yea i cut my ac belt off a long time ago...hate ac! anyway good luck with it!
