Strange noise and frayed fan belt (1.2 tsi)

[nomadx38]

It wouldn't be like VW if they didn't spin you at least some crap.

If it was "wear and tear" as they claim why did they replace it?

They don't replace wear and tear items like brakes / belts etc

They probably have no idea what caused it so are just thinking "may as well replace it and hope it doesn't happen again". At least it's fixed!

either that or they are just avoiding having it covered under warranty and having to front the bill. Im not even worried about it being covered under warrenty. i would just rather know that its not just gonna happen again. Seems rediculous that i can be told one thing by the head machanic yesterday, and then somthing completely different by the service guy today.

oh well at least its fixed for now
