PAS Delete

[emdog16]

Does anyone know how long of a belt I need if I remove the PAS pump?

[mattxr2]

i left mine on as it doesnt drag on the engine and doesnt weigh much, other than that a piece of string and find a match at halfords

[emdog16]

it's extra weight and it does drag on the engine a bit.

I'm just curious is someone can save me the hassle of the string lol.

This is the one fitted to my M50 non vanos. From what I can read from the below pic the belt's spec is 6PK1413

Out of interest, are you running an electric PS pump now, or just manual rack? I'm interested in doing this also...

[mattxr2]

i use an e46 clubsport rack with no pas

used an e36 rack before that

MOT failure running a PAS rack in 'manual' form

That's a new one on me and I've run a few PAS delete cars, are you sure? On my E30 I was running an M30 without the pump, without the lines and had a "manual" E36 rack.

Yep. 100% sure

The steering does not opperate as it should and you can also get 3 points as a result. CU40 defective steering

Kos is correct.
Though my car ,like rob0r, has been through an MOT without the PAS
belt connected and passed. Now I just put the belt on before a test and remove
it after. Belt is kept in the boot in it's original packaging.
