How to Replace the Auxiliary Belt on a Volkswagen Passat B7

Model: Volkswagen Passat B7 - Years 2010-2014
Part: V-belt

This video shows how to replace the auxiliary belt on a Volkswagen Passat B7. First, lift the vehicle using a jack, and then support it with two axle stands. Do not rely solely on the jack. Use a 16mm spanner to loosen the tensioner. When changing the belt, it is advisable to also replace the tensioner: you can find a complete kit on Auto-doc for under £50.00 (+ £9.95 shipping). Then remove the belt. The video provides a handy diagram showing how the belt runs between the various pulleys, making it easy to reinstall after changing the tensioner pulley. Tighten the 16mm nut securely, and the job is complete.
