Came here to get my front pulled!

[@CartuneNZ]

Seeing you are in Canada you might have to follow my instructions on pulling you front and do it yourself sorry.

@@CartuneNZ This is so meta; the DIY teacher telling me to DIY...lol

[@richardweston4493]

Not sure if this is the question that should never asked but here goes anyway..... Whats your opinion on best type of fuel to use in the 1uz VVTi please Kelvin?

[@patrickzambori473]

so is the purpose of this whole unit to put the belt tension load on the outer bearing that's easy to replace, and the main drive shaft is protected from the belt tension?... or is it like some kind of magnetic induction drive that will slip free if the compressor seizes up?

[@CartuneNZ]

This ps pump design spins the internal of the pump at all times, with the bearing supporting the front pulley, but its directly driven into the pump. The air conditioning pressure is then controlled with pressure valve recycling the pressure within the pump, unlike early ac pumps which have a magnetic clutch on the front pulley. Hopefully that explains it.

Are you saying “Google” is wrong?.... I thought what ever the internet says is “always right”?

[@CartuneNZ]

Well as Toyodiy is based upon an old version of the toyota epc, it appears that there may have been a small issue in there, which I found during this video which is a pain, while using google, so at this point in time I know there is one thing on the internet that is wrong, as for everything else, I have no proof that its fiction at this point in time.

So it's manual with no clutch 🤣

[@CartuneNZ]

Yep, locked diff ac pump
