Hey guys,
I usually do more work on my motorcycle than I do my cars, but when the tech told me that it would be a grand for them to replace my belt on my 2010 Jetta TDI, I began considering the possibility of replacing it myself.
I am likely about to be selling the vehicle. However, no one will likely be willing to pay what I need for it (After being ripped off by the dealership I got it from...long story) without a fresh belt in it.
The video I have seen looks like you lock the engine off in 3 places, then loosen the tension on the belt and replace what you need to replace. It seems simple enough, but some of these articles I have been reading makes it sounds much worse than that? I do intend to buy a full replacement kit and tool kit to do the work. There are no intentions on skimping on tool or improvising anything.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom regarding this topic? Thanks in advance for any contributions.
