I would like to find out vw golf mk3 vr6 belt tensioner can last for how long?How often need to replace?Thank You.
When it gets noisey. Don't think that there's a designated time. Mines done 110k and is just starting to get a bit squeeky. Heard that the serpentine belt needs changing at around 80k, but its not part of the service schedule or anything. Mines still the orignal i believe but could do with changing now.
Have a look at the belt - they start to crack, and it's a good time to change it then. It's a dead easy job and the belts pretty cheap anyway, so no real excuse for running a duff one!
