- In this week video we have the skoda superb again where we are changing the auxiliary belt tensioner, you can also find the same tensioner in many other volkswagen Audi group vehicles, in this case engine CFFB 2011 Skoda superb 2.0.
Pretty straight forward but not the usual couple bolts and job done, the job involves removing some accessories like intake hoses and intercooler hose and cooling fan....
Hey everybody, Igor here from Cars Exposed thanks for tuning in.
I will be uploading videos here every week Thursday at 18:30 sharing my experiences working around cars on my driveway, exposing issues, auto repair, auto electric, oil changes, services, projects and more...

For anyone doing this job, once the belt is off test your clutch pulley..it should spin in the clockwise direction and not anticlockwise. Generally the tensioner can fail when the alternator pulley is failing.
3 years late but thank you for having this up here in the US not many techs for TDI’s and those that exist charge so much for this job so just thank you so much helped out a ton
I've never owned a car that has an engine sitting sideways like that. As you say, a few amount of bits have to come off first, but all in all it didn't look too bad. I think your skills helped make it look easy too.
So excited to do this project! Thank you for the guidance!
Thanks for posting this up , my engine is on the bench , so the bolts easy , but still a lot to go through when in the Motor...still very helpful.
A lot of work for one bolt 😊 In the past I thought I had problem with tensioner but actually it was alternator clutch pulley which pulls tensioner. Nice job!
Don K 🤣🤣🤣 a lot of work indeed the thing in buried in there thanks mate 👍👍👍
Dude, super video! Thanks I just managed to change my belt & idler pulley
Thanks a bunch Dude. You just saved me from a lot of swearing and possibly breaking something. I have a 2013 mk6 Jetta. Part still the same
Thank you for the video!
Notes that it's totally useless to take off all the front parts... I did this operation for the tensioner and all you need is to take off wheel, plastics around and that's enough 👍☺️
Oh mate, I'm sorry about what I told yesterday because I started the operation but without ended it and was thinking that I had access without take off all front parts as you did and present in your video BUT I was wrong !
I wanted to thank you from Belgium because it is a f****** moment and I mean, Audi engineers are crazy to imagine a such complicated access for a "simple" belt tensioner... Crazy crazy crazy !
Anyway, HUGE thank's for your sharing because I didn't find any other full presentation as yours 🙏🤙
Gold thumbs UP
Great video and a rare one too. Excellent narration during this process to show the DIY person how it actually works.
Great work as ever. Very detailed production. Your an inspiration to all working on the drive mechanics out there. 👍 thanks for sharing all the best Pete
bamboo bushcraft thanks Pete I appreciate it mate always a pleasure to share 😊👍👍👍
May all the good fortune and all the best things come to you, my good man! CHEERS
He's a great engineer. He's the best
Best video on YT for tensioner on this engine type. Thanks man. Subed!
I Appreciate it mate 👍
Brilliant timing i need to do this job on mine seems a lot of work just to change a belt and tensioner but your video has made it a lot easier keep up the good work 😀😀
Thanks mate, yeah not as simpler as the usual set up with bolts accessible by the wheel arch but not too bad when you get started 😊😋👍👍👍👍 Cheers
Excellent video. Thank you for posting this.
Thanks so mutch for your good video and your explanations ! 👍👍👍

Thanks my guy. You saved me a stroke on my polo
Thank u very much mate well done very clear good job
Greetings from the Czech republic.
Beautiful video from England on a Czech car.
Thank you and I wish you more beautiful videos.
Greetings Peter
Great coverage with excellent pictures and step by step guide. This will have the VW-Skoda Main 'Stealers' (dealers) worried, as it clearly shows you how to save hundreds by doing this job yourself.
Thank you so much for this video!
Excelent video. 👍👍🙏🙏From România 👍👍👍
You are a wizard. VW were about to charge me a fortune I would prefer to spend elsewhere. Thanks bud
Thanks for the vid bro 👊🏻
I've the same problem with my A4 avant 2003.Same tensioner. So that's my job for the weekend.
Thanks your video open my mind thanks fabulous
Great Great Job Igor! I will tackle a timing belt, serpentine belt & SB pulley on Saturday: can't wait tp start wrenching!
Cheers pal have a good one 👍
Great video. Thank you so much☺️
Great video, I'm loking change tensioner in my car - same type engine like yours CFFB VW 2011. Your vodeo is only one on CZcams with this type tensioner, big thank you. Looking forward for more videos.
thanks mate awesome 👍👍👍
Thank god the Jetta is setup almost the same. Bout to tackle this myself. Tensioner separated this morning. Gonna do alternator pulley as a precaution
Great work as always!
CAN Diagnostic thanks mate 👍👍👍
veliké díky, ten šroub bych nenašel ani omylem, po vašem videu otázka hodiny výměna
Excellent video thanks!
Cheers 👍
thanks dude saved me tons of time!
Anton G pleasure mate 👍👍👍
Brilliant job 👍🏿
Thanks for the video, I actually managed to get my old tensioner out by just removing the breathe pipe, it’s very tight but possible
What pipe you mean?
Could you give me more information on this please?
Be good to know that pipe ?
@@johnthrower8165 I think he means the driver side intercooler pipe. Very easy to remove. Just 2 jubilee clips
Thank you man for this video ☝️
Pleasure mate cheers 👍👍👍
Thank you a lot dude, you just saved me 40 bucks
Pleasure mate cheers 👍👍👍
Really great and helpful video. I'm in the process of a Thermostat replacement ( as my car didn't want to get up to operating temperature ) in the process I decided to replace the belt and the Tensioner
UK Car Rebuilds thanks mate good luck with job 👍👍👍
What I experienced with the car it wasn't getting up to operating temperature. Like the thermostat stuck wide open. In case it won't solve my problem would you recommend something else to check?
UK Car Rebuilds if it is a Skoda superb DSG there is another thermostat on the top of the gearbox ...
I did not know that. I guess it is the right time to replace that too. Ordered from Amazon. Will be here tomorrow. Thanks a lot.
Is it difficult to change?
How's she goin'? Igor, just to know what needs to come off so that you can get to this part is a skill not many people have!! You are one in a million brother!!! Lots of part removal and then 'the prize' as you say!!! Well done and a nice video!!! Take care!!!
“The prize” 😊😁😁... thanks buddy I appreciate it 👍👍👍👍🙌
Thank you very much this video was very useful to me God bless you
Glad it was helpful!
Hi can you please advise if I have to just change the belt can I leave the fans and everything on. Many thanks
Well done!
👍👍👍
LM Auto Repairs thanks mate 👍👍👍🙌
Great job 👍 Kinda crazy all that work because they decided to put that bolt from behind 🙈
Thanks buddy, yeah it is most of tensioners are a piece of cake not this one 😊👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much.
Hi! Very good video, thanks for it! I struggled with the tensioner locking pin in my Polo 1.6 TDI. Could you tell me, what is your bit length which is suitable for this little room,? And what type of ratchet did you use during the tensioneing? I was unable the pull out the locking pin it was stucked :-(
thank you 🤜🏼
Top vid 👌
Cheers mate 👍
I've seen that you were able to remove the pulley from the tensioner. Etka is not listing this part, do you think it is available from aftermarket brands like dayco, INA or Skf?
In a lot of cases the jumping tensioner could be a consequence of the failing alternator clutch pulley, so once the belt is out it may worth checking. It should freewheel to one direction and should drive the alternator to the other.
Nice work mate....
Johnny's Speed Shop thanks mate 👍👍👍
Hello everyone. I have the same pulley, does it fit on a CAX engine, 2011 1.4tfsi 8p or they sold me a wrong one?
Just did it same like you show. Didn't find any other way. I just didn't remove all intercooler pipe, just part of it.
I changed the part and did what you did and its still as bad idk what to do I have a vw golf gtd 2010
That movement and noise of the belt is from alternator pulley..The tensioner it is recomended also to change it..and was ok that you repleaced it!
Had the same problem you help me to find that bolt which holds the tensioner
THANKS
Nice job. You have some skills :-)
Thanks mate I appreciate it 👍👍👍👍
my aux belt tensioner sheared off when driving. what size is the bolt that attaches it to the engine?
It is possible to just replace the pulley right? I think mine is making a noise.
makes programming look easy
cheers pal
Seems quite a bit of parts to remove to get to the tensioner, your video will definitely help people out.
Hey Matt, yeah quite few bits has to come out until you can get to the tensioner bolt such a awkward place but it doesn’t really take too long to get it done 😊 cheers mate 👍👍👍👍
super ok!
Does it matter, if the new tensioner doesn’t have both those notches?
Is dit ook zo voor een vw mk6 met een 1.6 diesel motor?
Grandpie from Grandpie`s workshop put me on to you so I came over and sub and I`ll be watching....CHEERS
Cheers mate 👍👍👍👍
Can anyone tell me what the minimum amount of items are that need to be removed to do this job?
Good job, you know I have the same problem with Amarok,but here a lot of time the belt was broken. Here, the old belt was 6pk1565 but the correct application is 6pk1555.
Ivan silva valeu brother 😉👍... Good to have the right size belt I mean I wouldn’t worry too much about a couple mills because the tensioner should take care of that but 10mm I would ... obrigadão 👍👍👍😊
@@CarsExposed Brazilian Amarok has 3 belt, they are 6pk1555, 1560 and 1565 I found it in a dayco catalog.
Cool I didn’t know that good to know ... 👍
Changing the belt is the easy part of the job get to the belt is the hard part.Hahaha
Absolutely buddy they absolutely buried this one 😊😋👍👍👍👍 cheers
Do you have any idea how to this on audi with longitudialy mounted engine. Do you need to remove alternator to gain access to this bolt?
I’m not sure bud... I would thought removing the alternator will make things easier with the longitudinal mounted engine
You making a mass. Just remove the inter cooler pipe and you will reach the hole , 13 mm and it’s off .
Good video. Should I also disassemble cooling fan when i replace alternator?
I dont remove it normally 👍
Very clever Design well done..😢....all of my Tools are used
Yes 3 years later on, thank you great vid , what make tensioner did you get ?.
I can’t remember sorry
Awesome Igor《☆》Grampie sent me over :*: New Sub :*: Greetings from Florida🤓☻🤠🐾🏈🐾🍭
BDOG JR hello mate thanks very much for the support ... Florida cool I’ve got a trip planned for 2021 ... 👍👍👍
good job,vw buried that thing properly 😀👍
Thanks mate Yeap they did 🤣😊👍👍👍
subbed
cheers mate 👍👍👍
This is great. How does that alternator come out?
There are two bolts one top. And the other on the bottom. Both approx 6” in length. I’ve just taken mine off. To replace the alternator regulator. That failed, and I’ve never seen so many lights come on the instrument cluster. “ re the speedo “ I made the mistake of undoing the bolt on the tensioner. I now need a new tensioner and belt. “ mind you it was my first time doing it. “ But I will know for next time.
Nice work, I have a question, What happen if i removed the pin before installing the tensioner, Can this damage the new tensioner ?
Its under big tension so don't remove. But if you do remove it you can replace it if you have a vice to grip it and a 16mm spanner
Bonjour, une vraie misère ce galet tendeur. C était plus simple sur les anciennes versions. Merci
im doing this an audi a1, so far ive removed the throttle/intercooler pipe but still cant get enough access to the hole, i can get socket onto the bolt through the hole but i have no space for a ratchet of any sort, im ordering a 3/8s set rather than my 1/2 or 1/4 inch drives and will see the
How many miles had your a1 done when it needed changing
@@chrisp4899 110k mate, rather annoying job on the little a1, such little space in the bay
Number of the key for the tensioner roller bolt ?thank you
16 hex
last time when mine was bouncing it was alternator pulley that seized.
shemmmo I was thinking that the same thing happened here when Luke turned up for the second time the noise was quite horrible ... I checked all pulleys alternator and a/c compressor and luckily it is all good it’s a pain to change this alternator 😋 cheers 👍👍👍👍
@@CarsExposed Yep, how’s it done though. I have a Skoda Octavia with the CAYC engine and looks similar to this. No idea how to get to the alternator second bolt.
@@danyo1972 I’ve replaced an alternator on a Skoda Octavia 13 plate 1.6 I had to free up the A/C compressor without disconnecting the gas lines off course to get access to the bolts and also get the alternator out from the bottom
@@CarsExposed Thanks mate. Is there a hole through the bracket for the second bolt access?
@@danyo1972 I can’t remember exactly, but I remember I could not remove the alternator without unbolting the ac compressor
Great video. Possibly the only one to replace this tensioner.
Could you please explain a bit better where is the bolt that needs to be undone to release the tensioner from its mounting?
The video is a little unclear about this crucial step, thank you!
Thanks man ... It’s impossible to get a camera where the bolt is but I explained and showed as you can see at 9:50 and 11:23 , press on these 2 time links hopefully it will help 👍
The tensioner bolt is push from behind the alternater/AC bracket.
What size of bolt for the tensioner ?
I believe it was a 10mm head but it has been a while since I’ve recorded the video .
Same process for seat Ibiza 2013 ?
I’m not sure mate ... this is a 2.0 engine CFFB Engine code
Size of the bolt? What gola u use? 13?
It was either 10mm or 13mm but it has been a while . Sorry
What would happen if you just left it?
its hard to say but definitely the noise would get worse and potentially brake
what bolt fits the pulley
16mm for the pulley and 13mm for the tensioner
How much does this job run if done at shop?
I’m not sure mate. I would say a good 3 hours 👍
@@CarsExposed thanks for the video, gave me point of reference when doing this.
What a backwards design though
how many miles had the engine done?
its heading to the 500k miles
@@CarsExposed wow
@@CarsExposed wow
Whats the torque spec for the bolt??
Technical data don't show any torque spec for it , it will be one of those situations where tight is tight , I would guess around 30nm but its going to be pretty hard to get a torque wrench in there 👍
20Nm plus further 90 degree turn
,👍💪🤝
👍👍👍🙌
Better to buy OEM tensioner.... These aftermarket are weak and rattle a bit.... Anyways not such hard work replacing.... Lock tensioner with pin.... Only remove front engin mount and drop AC pump then u have access to tensioner bolt.... I need to take out alternator now cause it seems clutch bearing ot something ia wrong there....makes singing noise
you must be the only mechanic to remove the whole engine to do an oil change haha... why did you remove the radiator,pipes and airbox just to get to a bolt you could of easily got to with a stubby ratchet with deep socket??
I didn’t remove the radiator or radiator pipes , but removing the cooling fan and intercooler pipe doesn’t take much time at all and saves you from a lot of frustration trying to reach the tensioner bolt 👍
Broooooo..... Tell the people to check the pulley of the generator then to change the tensionor! I my Situation the pulley stucked
The tensionor is fine!
Next generation of Vag cars: you need to lift off engine to replace something little like this tensioner.
That is a ridiculous amount of messing around to do a belt and tensioner change. My last few cars only needed the wheel and inner arch plastics to be removed.
