    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

    Front in the service position to replace the belt, it only takes a few minutes, looks daunting but the 2nd time you do it the job is as daunting as a bowl of trifle
