Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 7, 2004 Anyone changed one out on their VR yet? Looks like a right git of a job! I think it has to come through the offside headlight hole as there's no way it will drop down from underneath. I've got to take the pulley off the old one and put it on the new one aswell, so no doubt that will be fun too! Any tips would gratefully received. The bearing on mine has gone and making a racket.....voltage output has dropped from 14.4 to 13.2V aswell. Not bad for 100,352 miles I guess....

jedi-knight83 0 Posted September 7, 2004 surely with the airbox and pulley tensioner all take off it will just come out that side? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 7, 2004 Thanks for offer Asim but I've got a brand new one to go on (cheers Jedi). I'll do a pic guide when I change it out as it's gonna be a pig :x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoonlightVR 0 Posted September 7, 2004 nah he got a new from from VW via me. you know how easy they are to change then? Cool. No idea how easy they are to remove in situ, as I took this one off after removing the entire engine from the 'shell! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
