Replace belt on 2001 toyota echo

Hi,

please search for cheaper version of the parts on a website like alibaba where you can shop internationally and get the same parts for a fraction of the value. However, you might to need examine these parts properly virtually some how. You can also talk to your local mobile mechanics and they might be able to find a work around for you that is not extremely expensive.

Thank you.

No, what you do is remove the AC Compressor and install a Bypass Pulley.

AC REQUIRES MUCH POWER TO RUN. MAKE SURE YOUR ENGINE WORKS PROPERLY; WITH NEW AIR-FILTER, FRESH OIL AND CLEAN GASOLINE.

You can use your belt,if you call napa auto parts and ask for a bypass pulley for the ac compressor.

replace ac pulley bearings or grease them if not that take all belts off see what pulley is harder to turn by hand and replace but you dont try turn crank pulley i think ac compressor bearings are going or pulleys not alined

well the belt could be loose or the compressor may be seized.....or the belt may be old and squealing.

No your 2000 Toyota Echo has a two belt system and I believe the belt routing diagram is under the hood near the radiator.

go to toyota buy a fan belt, i think u can see a belt adjuster need the belt and engine , you just need to adjust the belt to very good tension

take a look some pullies are spring loaded and it may require a ( not recommend unless stuck) but a pry bar. if spring loaded is the case there should be a tool that you could rent that is use for prying the pulley.

Note: make sure to release slowly so not to damage pulley.

first you need to empty the free on out of the system then pull off the belts and then just pull out the bolts for the compressor
