altenators in the cold?

Funny readings loss of charge says earth to me

im going to have a look at the car tomorrow, take wheel off and check the pulley and also change the altenator belt (i couldnt get one in time when i done the altenator so gonna just do it and see if it makes any difference, if not then its done anyway).

Does anyone have the part numbers for the belt with aircon, or the size? as the motor factors doesnt have them on system.

Just found these part numbers on the net.
Bosch 4pk845 or 4pk830
nissan ay140-40830 
halfords 845e 
goodyear 6pk0837

cheers stu, that link is for aircon removed, mine is still in so the numbers you posted are for the air con in yeah?

Nope, air con in is 6PK1035 and Power steer/Water pump is 4PK919/920

Cheers ill get one of these ordered

Ah sorry about that. I automatically thought the aircon would have been removed..

Don't think need to be sorry, it is all relevant information that somebody else will maybe benefit from.

Me in particular, I didn't know the length of the belt for no air con, I do now

Yeah crank pulley has split

Thanks Gaz

MrB you was spot on with your diagnosis yet again

You shoukd atleast get a rep point if not a thankyou

Yup rep and thank you for the help, and everyone else, if i have to buy from nissan is the bolt and washer needed or can i reuse my old one?

Use the old ones

It's a team effort here .
bolt & washer can be reused, you probably wise pull it off to check keyway key ok &bolt/washer good & correct. so many cars been bodged so wise check prior to doing ordering.
They got pulley in UK/EU stock !
We have companies here that can re-manufacture the pulley (about 40gbp) go new oem myself though while still available.

Ill probably have to put this into a garage as i just cant get the bolt lose at all

Put some elbow grease into it Sye lol

Found this on the net

Cheaper than Nissan

Impact wrench or a breaker bar does the trick ...they can be tight ...

If you can't get it off I can possibly post you some grease they use in the airforce to get bolts undone

Well i dunno if elbowgrease is useful as the pulley just keeps turning, anyone know the size of the bolt so i can grab a socket for my breaker bar (having to use an adjustable spanner).

Also grabbed the tool mr b recommended for pulling the pulley off

well got the bolt off, just cranked engine and it freed it off, took a couple of attempts but we hav the bolt out, will have to waig for the tool and a new pulley.

another question i had a look but cant really see how to get the pas belt off?

Bolt on tensioner that locks it in position  left side as you look at it from the front then slacken the adjuster. One goes oppersit way to what you think sure it's adjuster on there

thanks very much, those lineart drawings are really terrible but i will have a look when im at the car to try and work with it.

Thanks again

They are not the clearest but give you an idea ... better than stabbing in the dark lol ...

Well got it all back together and everything is working now, boost is still not however.

Thanks everyone for the help on this really appreciated.
