Changed both of these today on wifes 3.0tdi quattro, my advice is dont!
Space really is at a premium and I was determined not to strip the front down for access., some paces under 2 inches maybe less.
Old broom handle is needed to get the belt back on the pulleys, physically impossible to get hands or arms down there even skinny ones.
HPFP belt is an **** to get on and off even though access is a doddle, the plastic back cover has no give in it at all.
Serpentine belt had a couple of very minor cracks and the HPFP belt was showing signs of wear and cover was full of very fine brown dust inside from the belt, neither were critical but a good bit of preventative maintainance.
