Volkswagen Jetta - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 5, A5 - Years 2005-2010
Part: V-belt
Operation: Auxiliary belt replacement instructions

This car model actually has two auxiliary belts: one dedicated only to the air conditioning compressor and the other that drives the alternator and power steering pump; before proceeding with the disassembly it is suggested to take note of the passages that the belts make between the pulleys, perhaps with a sketch or a photo; you must start from the compressor belt by loosening the relative tensioner to which access is gained through the wheel arch; for the other belt, on the other hand, it is possible to access from the engine compartment to loosen the tensioner and extract it; we will proceed backwards to install the two new belts.
