KIPVW 0 Posted September 19, 2012 Depends weather you want VAG or not, if not then carparts 4 less instead of euro car parts as they are a fair bit cheaper. did mine on the vr recently and wasn't a bad job at all not sure if it'll be easier on the valver but i'm guessing so, although tackled it over a few days as i have a daily too.

They're not too bad to change, as the PAS belt is the outermost, just make sure you slacken all the mounting nuts otherwise you won't be able to shift the adjuster bolt and/or you will damage it. Somewhere on the forum there's threads with more info so do a search. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
