Thanks so much for this video, while driving on the motorway (im from UK) the serpentine belt came off cleanly, theres a bit of an oil leak from the mid to bottom right area. I think the oil caused it to come loose as i did go quite fast. I dont have as much room as the Q7 youre working on as mine is an A6 C7 3.0. But ill do my best. Thanks so much for this video
Thanks for the great information. excellent in geting what tools i need, which is always fun of these european cars. The tension information was great as well. Thankfully my 2012 VW Touareg V6 came off the same production line. Thanks Again! Plus I had a little laugh at the hawks, I kept thinking "Squirrel". LoL , So G'day from Australia!
I have the Audi Q7 4L 3.0TDi im trying to change the Alternator I've stripped it down but after taking the 2x 13mm bolts from the face of the alternator it's not budging is it connected to the Ancillary Bracket or am I missing something it's 11pm in the UK and I'm stuck any help would be appreciated
Hi there can you tell me which dimension is serpentine belt, cause mine is 6PK2518, when I went to buy a new one they gave me 6PK2523 and told me that will be fine
Hi! thank you for the DIY, very helpful! @Halffast719 I see on the video that your belt is a little off of the pulley (not centered), after the replacement is the belt centered? thanks?
@@Halffast719 thanks! my belt is about 50% off the pulley but I'm not sure if is the pulley or the harmonica balancer. I'm gonna change this weekend the pulleys /belt and see. thanks again
Thanks for the informative video. I had the serpentine belt pop out on my 2014 Audi A6 TDI V6 C7 model while driving which I didn’t understand why it did. Old belt was fine. Ordered all new parts. We just replaced the water pump, belt, and the idle roller passenger side just like in your video. Should I replace the other rollers and idle pulley? I mean they look in good shape but now my concern is that when the car idles. On the left passenger side idle roller (which was replaced as well). It’s all in the groves in the other places just that small roller looks like the belt is 1/4 inch out. I drove it home 50 miles today and no overheating issues. Checked it again and no issues. I’m just afraid it will pop out again because of the small gap. Is there supposed to be a spacer or something to make that 1/4 gap on the roller...
There’s a spacer behind the tensioner but not any of the others. I just replaced all of them. That passenger one on my q7 was the whole reason I replaced everything. It was hanging off the same as you’re talking about. Just replace all of them.
@@Halffast719 you’d think Audi would so the fancy stuff and Vw more basic. I’ll be swapping belts next week also. Only 54,000 miles but i tow a ton with her, so more about PM
There is vital information that was not shown on camera: removing of the idler gears, pulling the pin on the tensioner. If you are going to make a video include all of the vitals. Do not assume that everyone knows how to do what you are doing.

I try to dumb it down for dummies that don’t know how to google neuton meters to foot pounds or inch pounds. Common sense tell intelligent people that this is an Audi which is Volkswagen which is German which is in Europe which uses the metric system. If you can’t figure that out I can’t help you. SMH WACK VIEWERS.
He shows a detailed image on belt route, I fully understood the belt route. I'm guessing it takes two hands to get the belt on. There's no need for disrespectful comments.
Thank to show EVERY tools and socket size needed, it's very helpful
I’m just trying to help out. Thanks and you’re welcome.

Thank you!

Original part number is 059903137AL so if you break it down I believe it 05 is the amount of ribs 9903 is inside dimension it’s 99.03” I believe.
Hi, just wondering what's your engine code and if u could share the part number for the dipstick as u can't find one that fits in my 3.0tdi. Thanks
great video!
Hi! thank you for the DIY, very helpful! @Halffast719 I see on the video that your belt is a little off of the pulley (not centered), after the replacement is the belt centered? thanks?
Yes. That’s why I changed the pulleys. One of the idler pulleys had a loose bearing.

@@Halffast719 thanks for your reply. How much would a job like that cost to replace them?
It cost me just the parts. $258 from an Audi dealership online.
How many miles at time of belt and pulley service?
121,000 miles.
Hi, did you get genuine Audi parts or generic.
I’m changing mine soon
I bought VW Audi parts from a local VW dealership online because it’s cheaper than walking in.
Pretty Crazy. Mine is a 15 Vw 3.0 tdi touareg but no dipstick.
No engine oil dipstick? That’s really crazy.
@@Halffast719 computer shows level.
I’ve seen that on Mercedes. Never seen it on VW though.
@@Halffast719 you’d think Audi would so the fancy stuff and Vw more basic. I’ll be swapping belts next week also. Only 54,000 miles but i tow a ton with her, so more about PM
Yeah especially since non mechanically inclined people drive and own Audis. Not sure if I’m offending anyone but that’s the nicest way I could say it.
This should be a FREE MONEY FRIDAY! Stealership would have charged you... probably, close to a GRAND to do this.
Yeah it’s $750 if I took it in.
What size belt?
I wear a size 38-40 belt but I’m a 34 waist.
Great video. Is that an OSLO torque wrench?
No my trusty craftsman. I don’t trust OLSA tools Torque wrench for this application.
280 in parts..... at least 5hundo at the dealership... 7hundo in labor. Saved yourself loads of dineros
Yes I did. Those parts are from the dealership.
Aluminum bolts ......... ain't that fancy ? But why ?
Because it’s Audi and they’re stupid. But I think it has has something to do with corrosion or rust.

Next time partner. Just figured common sense but guess not. Thanks.

If that much instruction is needed, probably be worth while taking it to a competent garage. Better be safe than sorry 🤷
@Dan93y thank you. Well put.
How could you possibly skip the part where you route the belt.. what a waste of a video lmao
Because only morons need their hands held to figure out the belt routing. Need me to hold your hand?
@@Halffast719 I need you to make a useful video and stop saying Neuton meters for 10 minutes. Smh wack ass video 🤦🏿♀️
