James_VW Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Whilst driving alternator belt has snapped causing no power steering. Can it be swapped easy enough? Just pull down on tensioner and pop new belt on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_VW Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 So limped it back home after snapping at work... Thankfully 10 miles or so later got home... This morning jacked drivers side up Removed wheel Release engine mount bolts some to drop engine down a bit to aid twisting tensioner (clockwise) Wrap belt round leaving alternator till last then twist tensioner from underneath then wrap around alternator. Job done £10 and around 20 mins job.. took longer getting my tools from shed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
