Bypassing A/C compressor with new serpentine belt

Hello,

The 1.4 engine was never supplied without A/C in the Chevrolet Cruze, only the 1.8 version, so an off-the-shelf belt size is not available.

Your best bet would be to use a tailor's tape measure or a length of string and measure the length of the replacement belt around the pulleys with the tensioner retracted and locked in position. See picture 2 below

Once you have the length simply go to your nearest auto parts store, I would suggest adding a few millimeters extra to the measured length to aid installation

See belt routing in picture 1 below (with A/C)

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Boris
