[Biturbos4] need detail on bolts holding the AC compressor to the engine, and spacers between it and the bracket

[alan cordeiro]

I replaced the oil last Thursday, and when finished started the engine to run it before doing the final oil level check. There was a loud sound from the engine, then it went smooth.
As I drove the car off the ramps and out of the garage, I realized I did not have power steering assist. I verified the serpentine belt had been chewed up.

I did considerable research on how to replace the serpentine belt, and found our about the "service lock position". If anyone has tips, or a link to an article that will help someone doing it the first time, please reply, thanks.

The Gates belt came in today, and I crawled under the car to understand where all the bolts, connectors, hoses etc were that needed to be unhooked. I also tried to see if there was something frozen on one of the pulleys driven by the serpentine belt. During my investigation I discovered one pump unit (later discovered it is the AC compressor), was totally loose. I am guessing as long as the serpentine belt had tension it has stayed in place even while the bolts had fallen off...but in replacing the  oil filter I must have pushed it backwards, which led the belt to jump off and get shredded as it climbed off at an angle.

Not that it looks very easy to get to reinstalling the bolts, I may have to remove the oil filter and oil cooler first, but now I have some urgent questions:

1) Can someone tell me what size the bolts are  Xmm dia and XXmm long, with 1mm/thread?

2) The Bentley shows some spacers between the compressor and the compressor bracket...what size  (mostly what height) are those?

4) How on earth can you slide the spacers on between the compressor and bracket? is engine removal necessary to get in that area? There seems to be some sort of a turbo pipe running below, but not too easy to remove, to get more access.

3) What is the thread dimensions of the 3966 tool that allows the service carrier to slide on it?  Bolt dia, thread, and length,

Thanks,

Alan
