Title: Time to take out my a/c or powersteering
Post by: jajou318 on April 02, 2007, 09:28:31 AM

Looked under my car saw a belt broken this morning. I was running late so I just hopped in and went to school. Makes a whirring sound above 3k.. but it isn't sluggish or anything of the sort. ( I haven't really payed any attention to how the belts are hooked up so I'm just assuming it's one or the other..)

Anyways I was just wondering how many people use a/c for their car to clear up the windshield because that is honestly my only concern. I don't want to be stuck driving with a foggy windshield. So yea i want my visibility!

My A/C's been dead this whole winter and haven't had any problems from -10 deg to 70 deg F thus far.

It's the powersteering pump.

What needs to be taken off to remove this beast?
