Video tutorial

This video shows how to replace the auxiliary belt on the Volkswagen Touran 1: first, obtain the belt, which can easily be found for under £10 on any car parts website. Do not provide specific details as it is better to enter the vehicle's chassis or registration number to ensure compatibility: open the bonnet and using a 15mm spanner, pull the tensioner pulley laterally, then lift the car with a jack and support it on axle stands for stability.

From underneath, remove the auxiliary belt and check the condition of the tensioner pulley and the idler pulley, which should be replaced if necessary. Install the new belt, ensuring it fits well on the pulleys.

Lower the vehicle and return the tensioner pulley to its initial position, then run the engine for a few minutes to ensure everything is functioning correctly.
