Bloke sounds okay on the phone, better than the lot in Norwich we went to.

Just bumping this old thread back up

Did an oil/filter change on the German today and found this lying on the undertray

WTF is it?

Just checked what I thought might be a part number, looks like it should be attached to the AC compressor

Also noticed a rotation symbol so I guess it might normally spin?

Its off the AC pulley mate,
check the AC shaft turns and that the ac pump has seized up internally,
if it has seized up then new compressor,
if it hasnt seized up you can get a pulley repair kit that replaces but the pulley and clutch

If there's one thing we don't see enough of forums, it's factual and accurate info from those that know. Nice information Adam

(Have yourself some positive rep mate

Awesome

Looks like it's been off for a while

When I bought the car the AC was fine, but when it got hot it was shite so it's been turned off since then. I'll have a quick look when it stops pissing down with rain

tbh mate you'll probably find the shaft nut has snapped off and that means a new compressor is needed.

Will that effect any of the belts on the engine? I've not looked closely to see if there's one belt running all parts like the AC comp, power steering etc?
