Withdrawal
1. Remove the bottom cover of the engine compartment, refer to subsection Removal and installation of the bottom cover of an impellent compartment.
2. Turbodiesel (TDI): Remove the connecting pipe between the intercooler and turbocharger. To do this, loosen the clamps.
3. If the belt is to be installed again, it is necessary to mark the direction of its rotation. To do this, an arrow is applied to the belt with a felt-tip pen in the direction of its rotation. The engine, looking from the right side of the car, rotates to the right, that is, clockwise.
4. Loosen the belt tension. To do this, turn the tensioner with a 16 mm ring spanner in the direction of the arrow. Remove the V-belt from the alternator pulley first. The alternator pulley is located on the right next to the idler pulley.
Installation
5. Tighten the tensioner with a 16 mm box wrench and slide the V-belt over the pulleys. Lastly, put the belt on the alternator pulley (to the right of the tension roller).
Warning: When installing a used belt, pay attention to the direction of rotation of the belt. The engine, looking from the right side of the car, rotates to the right, that is, in a clockwise direction. Installing the belt in the opposite direction results in increased belt wear.
6. Then slowly release the tensioner. At the same time, make sure that the V-belt is in the correct position on the pulleys. The belt tension is set automatically.
7. Turbodiesel (TDI): Insert the connecting pipe between the intercooler and turbocharger and secure it with clamps.
8. Start the engine and visually check the operation of the belt.
9. Establish the bottom cover of an impellent compartment, address to subsection Removal and installation of the bottom cover of an impellent compartment.
