Hi

My serpentine belt blew on Friday, and I have got my hands on a new one today.
Can I fit this my self???
If so, is there a knack or a few tricks???

Please help again..................

Thanks

um guna have a wild guess is it a 300tdi

if so its simple if you know where it came from (wich you wont as you sed it snapped)

get on the internet and find the layout of the belt

use a spanner to open up the auto belt tensioner

dun't TD5's have a serpentine belt also?

300s are easy to work out the route though

although you probably want it to also go round the pas pump
