Hello,
We have a 2011 T5, automatic. Suits the family's needs very well.
I am at this site not due to a love of VWs, nor any other brand, as I see vehicles as functional, rather than as image projectors (although that is what they do).
Unfortunately, we have had to replace the serpentine belt 3 times: twice in the last year.
A mechanic has told that the issue is caused by the Dual Clutch System impacting the Belt Transmission Tightener, which in turn effects the belt.
The cost will be $4000 AND the vehicle will be off the road for 2-3 weeks.
I have a few questions, please:
1- Can you recommend a cheap, but powerful Scotch that will temporarily help me forget that woe?
2- Could there be another reason for the belt problem besides replacing the Dual Clutch System?
3-If the stated cause of the problem is correct, is their another work around?
4-If we do follow that path, is $4k about right as a fix?
Thank you.
Merry Christmas.
