This is the only clear accurate video on TH-cam covering belt replacement cheers

[@quidipher]

Thanks for the video. The camerawork and your explaination was all I needed to get the job done.

[@waynebrown7700]

Told me what I needed to know. Thank you.

[@mrwilliams7086]

Great video homie seen videos of replacing the alternator but not the belt also 👏🏾👏🏾 now I got some work to do

[@TeBiDoWil]

I know that it’s always easier to just get it done instead of recording, so I appreciate you taking the time. I just watched another one and I was confused why they removed the radiator fan and coolant lines to replace 🤷‍♂️

[@mattias9411]

Video is beautiful. Thanks for walking us through it!

[@FlintWestMetal21]

so biggest thing to remember to take the tension off is Lefty-Tighty Righty-Loosey LOL

[@armintanzarian4230]

Thank you. Simple to the point video. Perfect.

[@gregorydillardsr.1236]

Is it supposed to sound that loud while running?

[@23demolitionderbyman]

any thoughts on the Goodyear Gatorback belts(AKA Continental Quiet Belt)?
I run them on all my vehicles - no complaints

[@TestDontguess]

I like them they have been good to me.

You did a great job buddy! How many miles you've got on that Jetta? Did you change the timing belt and, if yes, at what mileage? I am asking because i HAVE THE SAME ENGINE ON MY 2013 Golf TDI 4D-HB. Cheers from Montreal, Canada!

[@robbylynch7259]

I'm currently having mine done at 123,000. They recommend 120 to 125

[@DustyPearl-NFL]

I also put a thumbs up & subscribed to encourage you keep up the great work!

[@RobKingRC]

Nice...

[@aaron___6014]

100k or 8-10 years. For those who are wondering you can't get enough rotation in the tensioner from above you have to go in from underneath.

[@dustinstroh4604]

Thank you!

[@ericfrancis6613]

Simple straightforward video. Exactly what is needed. The Torx sizes would have been the icing on the cake.

[@ohtwo23]

My 2014 TDI has a very faint sounding chirp with only 74,000 miles. I pour a tad of water on it and it stops for a minute then starts again. Quietens down the warmer it is outside. Hope a belt change fixes mine.

[@Mitchumthegreat]

Fuck torx bits!! Im systematically replacing those on my TJ as repair or modify it.

[@TestDontguess]

Right they are brutal

[@jw6422]

Right?! Rusted in torx bolts? What a mess that can become very quickly. I don't know how many bit sockets I have destroyed over the years on my Jeeps.

[@thomast4479]

Thank you. Just what I was looking for! What is that sound at 4:47? Sounds like bird! My 2014 Jetta Tdi makes the same noise!

[@MrLeviaFUN]

Great. How easy is it to take off the tensioner to have it replaced? Looks tight in there

[@andrespardo3265]

Man, thank you so much... you save me a lot of $$$$$$ thank you thank you.. very easy and accurate your tutorial..

[@honnomr79]

Great video. Took me a couple different tries to slide the belt iver the a/c pulley but i eventually got it. Had to push up the tension pulley further than id expected. Looked like the belt was going to be too short then oh it popped right on. Oh one tip if you dont have a 16mm wrench a 5/8 wrench fits fine.

[@jw6422]

Thanks for posting the vid. Much appreciated. Not as bad as I thought. Manuals are great, but some things I just need to see someone else do before I venture. Cheers.

[@nydrell1969]

Straight forward....anyone needing a belt diagram don't need to work on cars

[@swagtastikal3867]

Thank you so much. It's clear what has to be done even tho it's such a tight and awkward place to repair something

[@gergelygergely6087]

Would it be similar or the same for a vw polo 1.2 petrol 2006??

[@ryanvtec3885]

So does this one only hook up to the alternator and actual condensor

[@untamedera]

This is actually a pretty thorough video thank for the help

[@jpcommander]

Great video. Thanks so much.

[@markstuart1914]

Thanks very much - very easy to follow!

[@rainq3359]

Best video out there!

[@jbay443]

Great job and video

[@auxmike718]

There’s actually padding on the oil pan? To catch drips, or for noise insulation?

[@charliemorse5577]

Noise, same with under the hood

[@dagoer4149]

Hey how tight are u suppose to tighten the tensioner after u get the belt on?

[@TestDontguess]

It’s automatic......

[@tarzan9833]

Am gona be doin mine today for first time jetta s 2.0

[@auxmike718]

I have that car, it’s much easier to do any the process is different.

[@danhambrick6331]

Nice job Jerry.I wonder what the dealer would of charged you?

[@TestDontguess]

Prolly couple hundred bucks

[@danielleh9411]

I recently went to VW and they suggested to replace mine for $1,200. I laughed

[@walkerw3091]

I got quoted $220. Don't mix this up with the timing belt. Completely different and is way more costly.
