How do you route belt on 2004 beetle?

1. Locate the serpentine belt. The serpentine belt is a long, thin belt that wraps around several pulleys on the front of the engine. It is responsible for driving the water pump, power steering pump, alternator, and air conditioning compressor.

2. Remove the old belt. To remove the old belt, you will need to loosen the tensioner pulley. The tensioner pulley is located on the side of the engine, near the top. Use a wrench to loosen the tensioner pulley bolt. Once the bolt is loose, you can pry the tensioner pulley up with a pry bar. This will release the tension on the belt, and you can remove it.

3. Install the new belt. To install the new belt, simply wrap it around the pulleys in the same way that the old belt was installed. Make sure that the belt is seated properly in the grooves of the pulleys.

4. Adjust the tensioner pulley. Once the belt is installed, you will need to adjust the tensioner pulley. Use a wrench to tighten the tensioner pulley bolt until the belt is taut.

5. Start the engine and check the belt. Once the belt is installed and tensioned, start the engine and check the belt for proper operation. The belt should run smoothly and without any noise.
