how do i change/take off the serpintine alternator etc belt on my 96 plate 300tdi .

i cant see any way it comes off , do i need to take the cooling fan off or the cowl from the radiator or both

is there a how to guide anywhere

thanks
 
Get a big spanner and a short scaff bar (for leverage) and lift the pre tensioner. Should slide off the pulleys.
 
15mm spanner or socket on the tensioner bolt ;)
Release the pressure of the tensioner on the bolt by moving the tensioner wheel up with the socket/spanner then remove the belt from the pulleys ;)
 
thanks guys -- yep the alternator is kaput , so need to take it off to get it recond .
belt looks like it needs replacing as well , so just need to remember wish way round the belt goes back on ie over or under the pulleys

Take a couple of piccies first.;)
 
the pullies with slots cut in go on the side of the belt with slots cut in, the smooth pullies go around the back of the belt
