Perform three measurements at different locations offset by 120°. The measurements must not deviate.
Determining measurement “2”
–  Separate connector -4- on air conditioner compressor.
–  Attach connector -4- to positive terminal of vehicle battery using an auxiliary cable.
–  Switch on ignition and air conditioning system (blower speed 1). Magnetic clutch must close.
–  Measure distance between poly V-belt pulley -2- and clutch plate -3- with a depth gauge -1- and note measurement. Measure at the same locations as for dimension “1”.
–  Measure clearance.
The clearance is the difference between measurement “1” and measurement “2”.
  Note

t  The clearance can also be measured when the air conditioner compressor is installed.
t  If the clearance is outside the permitted range, remove the clutch plate and adjust the clearance by removing or adding spacers.
