Robster 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Does anyone know how hard it is to fit a new auxillary belt on the left hand side of the engine?Mine's slightly cracked and I realise the belt prob won't be many £££'s from my local dealer.Bought an engine manual off ebay a while back which suggests the engine needs removing partly to get to it all...Has anyone managed to do one themselves?Also have Golf Vr6's got heated washers? Noticed two wires goin to each of the jets on the bonnet on mine the other day...Got an original 96' model sales brochure but that doesn't mention it...CheersRob Link to post Share on other sites
mk3anni 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Yeah they have heated washers.The Aux belt is fiddly, you might want to remove the bottom engine cover (plastic shroud that stops shit getting in the pullys, its held on by a couple of clips) that sits over the bottom pully. I've got a belt change down to about 20 mins now, so its not to hard.Just remember where the belt goes, I drew a diagram the first time I did it!The engine doesn't need to be moved/removed at all.
