I got the same brakes on my 2011 mk2 fl TSI Octavia vRS is this how to vid help me do mine
You can do this job from the top without removing anything. Much easier that way
This was super helpful thanks so much
Great video, not too complicated, thanks !
I'll try to do it without taking the tire of
Thanks for the video! I was able to replace the belt from the top. A 3/8 ratchet with a 4” extension on the handle was just long enough that I could press down and hold the tensioner with my weight and pull off the belt easily with the other hand. Pretty much a 10 minute job after the hour it took to figure it out 🙂
Wow. That's a lot of work for a belt. Gotta love German engineering. I have a 2009 gti and it needs a new tensioner. Is it the same process pretty much or will I be able to replace it from the top?
What size belt are you using?
What if you don't install the tire back on? Can you still drive it
