I know my friends Mk3 would stall when you turn the aircon on if you pressed the AC button, the pump would completely lock up and stall the engine but with it off it never had an issue, odd situation.
Glad to see you're sorted though.

Thanks guys. Weird thing is it ran fine when I bumped it off, the pulley is seized solid, I removed the pump tonight.

I just need to remove the remainder of the air con system, refit the front end and sort the front jacking points :smiley:

Haha i aint denying this  :grin:

Its just food for thought though, it was a short term solution thats lived up to the task so never bothered

Looks lost in the engine bay though....
