Heard the belt snap whilst driving the car earlier and immediately lost power steering as well as ALTERNATOR WORKSHP ! showing on dash...
Can anyone please advise how to replace the alternator belt on my car... Preferably point me in the direction of a you tube video or pictoral guide etc.
Most of the ones I can find are related to the replavcement for the alternator itself which requires removal of the front of the car...I was hoping I could do the job without having to remove the front but don't know if that's possible or not...
I also forund this videobut it says ity is for a 1.8T...so not sure it would be suitable for my 2.5 TDI
