I want to help my brother change the belts/idler/waterpump/etc in his



90 1.8T Passat. Problem is that I have never done that in such car. Jettas, Mercedes, and even a Renault, yes (I was even going to add a RX7 to see if someone would catch it ). But never a Passat. How hard is it? What does it take? Does it need any special tools or it is just labour and care (as it is an interference engine)?

An RX7 has a water pump belt. Could you be taliing about a timing belt? Texas Parts Guy
