Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

    Future proof 2011 CFFB TDI

    Bit the bullet and changed everything. No noticeable wear after 70,000 klm since last change but has been over 7 years. Serpentine tensioner wasn't done before and had miniscule movement at pulley. Car will be over 20 years old before due again! Could not budge the alternator pulley, snapped 2 special tools. Will wait till alternator dies and replace as one.

    What did the belt look like, any signs of cracks or wear?
    It looks like you read my post in the diesel section back on 18/05/23.
    Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

      No sign of any real wear at all. The Continental branding hadn't even worn off the belt! Water pump was in much better condition than the one I replaced 7 years ago.
