Serpentine belt replacement.

[riche543]

Hey all.

I'm just about to do the dsg oil & filter change on the weekend , (going the slow way, measure what comes out then put it back in though filter hole)
Anyway I haven't found much on doing the serpentine belt on the interweb , just wondering how hard of a job it is & if there's anything to look out for.
It's on a 2011 t5 multivan tdi340. 2.0l 7spd dsg.
Cheers

If you put back in what comes out, it'll be under-filled. You need to overfill it, and drain off the excess on level ground while it's running.

Serpentine belt is a bit of a pain to do, from memory due to a lack of room, but not impossible.

Thanks for reply, is there a reason why it would be under filled if you measure the exact amount that comes out? Then put that back in ?

They're underfilled from the factory.

The only way you'll know if the oil level is correct, is to do it by the book.

I need the exact model number if I am to help.
It usually stuck on the first or second page of the Service Book.
eg - Mine's a Transporter 7EA

Still haven’t got round to doing this yet.

Engine type is CCHA, is this what you meant by model number?

CCHA is the engine code.

It's the same for all 2.0lt diesels with aircon, I think.

Thanks for that
