Bigdar 62 Report post Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Fucked Had to get dragged home by the RAC yesterday because of the amount of smoke coming from the pulley side of the unit ( and a terrible burning smell ). Is the pulley and bearing replaceable on these ? 2001. 156 2.0 ts Edit: Or, can I bin the AC off altogether ? Edited May 11, 2014 by Bigdar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bazzbazz 5 Report post Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Just do a search on EBay for "Alfa Romeo Air compressor", or "Alfa Romeo Air clutch" had a dozen pop up first go. Just make sure you set search to worldwide. Baz Edited May 13, 2014 by bazzbazz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
