I’m having trouble finding a source for an AC bypass pulley for a 2002 new beetle turbo diesel 1.9 liter 5spd manual trans.  
  
  
  
 Anyone have any sources I could check? The local autoparts stores don’t have a listing (autozone, advanced auto)  
  
  
  
 Thanks.

Try the Dorman web site. I have seen them there for other models.

no one seems to have one. I’m going to try to fabricate one some how.
