My neighbour has an 02 Volvo S40 1.9d (Renault engine) the air con compressor seized up and destroyed the pulley bearing.

He is short on cash, not bothered about working air con and needs the car for work.

Is it possible to fit a shorter serp belt and bypass the compressor, if so does anyone know the dimensions or part number?

Problem now resolved, bought a compressor through 24/7 spares for £50, unfortunately they sent the wrong one so had to return it.

With no correct units available I sourced a bearing from a local supplier for £30, pressed it into the old pulley and refitted it (without the clutch), no air con now but the car is perfectly usable.
