Hi all,
I've just had my Air Con fail and it looks as though the culprit is (from what I've been told) the "Auxiliary Water/Heater Pump Assembly".
The front pulley with the magnetic clutch has seized and in turn shredded the belt and stopped any nice cool breeze being produced.

After speaking with Toyota Parts this unit alone comes in at £1,230+VAT
I then need to add in an Idler Pulley and new belt.
My questions are...
Thanks,
Scott

My questions are...
- Is this unit really needed or can it be by-passed?
- Can the unit be reconditioned?
- Is there a reputable aftermarket part that others have used and would recommend?
Thanks,
Scott
