I have a 2000 E430. I just did this job because my ac compressor froze. I went to O'reilly and bought a serpentine belt 6pk2310.(different brand has it as k0910). The numbers after the part number is the length in mm or inches. Eg. 0910 = 91 inches == 2810mm. Just follow the diagram and bypass the ac compressor. Tools: 15mm wrench for the pulley tensioner. It took me 5 minutes to do this job and be on the road again. It is very easy. On the Right is the normal diagram.
On the left is how you bypass the AC compressor on a E320/E430 2000-2002 engine.
The a/c compressor can not be bypassed on this engine. The compressor will either need to be replaced or removed and a special bypass pulley installed in its place. The pulleys if available can be purchased from you local auto parts store.
The short answer is no. You may be able to measure the length of a belt that does not go around the ac compressor and buy that belt, but chances are you won't be able to route the belt to bypass the compressor and keep it tight.
i think it has one belt but please remember i do not see many here in spain but if it it is one belt then yes it must be possible ,maybe a local auto factor will know what belt will fit
I wouldn't because you need the defrost to work while in Rain with windows up or in the winter. Good luck with finding measurement for mini-van. Not many people void them.
The bearings in the pulley have dried out and unfortunately there is no easy way to fix without replacing the pulley due to the type of belt used. Maybe you can find a good used pulley of a wrecked car? It doesn't have to be the exact same year/model as the pumps are generic and it's just a matter of matching size and belt type.
some cars dont need a bypass pulley just remove the ac compressor and get a belt for non ac some cars you cant do this because the belt routing is different with an idler pulley go to pepboys or autozone and ask them to print out the belt routing for both if they cant do it go to a gm dealer and ask hope this helps
If its a 2.7L you can bypass the AC with no problem. Did it to mine 6 months ago. Left compressor in place. Little hard to find right belt because all sebrings have AC. Went to napa bought 5 took the other 4 wrong ones back. LOL
