What size serpentine belt should be used on replacing a shorter belt to bypass the ac compressor?
Presiousthing
Sometimes you simply cant guess what size you ought to use because the way the AC compressor is layed out doesn't allow you to run a serpentine belt as it may be in the way of the belt. However if you remove the compressor you can sometimes use the non-AC part number for the belt providing none of the other ancillaries that are run by the belt have been moved around in order to fit the AC compressor. Some garage computer programs provide the drawings of the positioning of the different components that are driven by the belt. There you can compare if all these components remain in the same locations as in your vehicle. If this is the case you can install the non-AC belt prior to removing your compressor and see if the correct tension is maintained. Hope this helps.
PS: Do not run an engine on a faulty compressor as if it seizes it could potentially destroy your engine (common fault on Renault clios)

I presume you mean the A/C compressor. The easiest way is to buy a serpentine belt for the model of the vehicle you have without A/C fitted, and then use that. This is a known temporary cure for roadside assistance.

Have your mechanic run the serpentine belt around the compressor. I had a bad compressor last year, and the mechanic just re-routed the belt until I could afford a new compressor-then he installed it and re-routed the belt again so it would run the compressor. Purchase a serpentine belt the same vehicle but without A/C. The shorter belt will drive all the other accessories and is routed the same as the belt used with A/C, except for the compressor.

I had a 1995 buick lesabre and the A/C compressor went out in the winter time. I waited until spring to replace the compressor. In the mean time, I used a Dayco 72.10 inch belt and bypassed the A/C compressor and it runs fine.
