Checking the degree of tension
The operation of the entire vehicle, in particular the V-shaped belt of the water pump drive, largely depends on the degree of tension of the V-shaped belt.
Tension adjustment and replacement of the V-belt must be carried out by a specialist workshop or a Volkswagen dealer.
Caution: To avoid personal injury, do not stand near the V-belt while the engine is running. If it is necessary to check the tension of the V-belt, turn off the engine and allow it to cool to avoid burns from contact with hot engine components.
Never touch the radiator fan as it works depending on the engine temperature and may start unexpectedly even when the ignition is off.
