2005 VW Jetta TDI belt noise and alternator decoupler pulley replacement

This 2005 VW Jetta TDI came into the shop with a chirping noise from the belt and rattling noise from the engine. The belt had already been replaced and that helped the chirp but not the rattle. In this video I will show you how to test the alternator decoupler pulley sometime called an overrun clutch pulley and replace the pulley if it is bad. Replacement does require a couple of special tool which I will list below. Always remember to be safe while working under the hood and especially while near the belt system while the engine is running. Shut engine off and remove key from vehicle before starting the hands on testing and repair.

Great video, tried to replace mine last year with no joy, watched your video and learned about the tensioner pin! Still struggled with getting the pulley to start loosening but once it started it was a piece of cake. No more vibrations, no more rattling, no more squeaky steering. Thanks for the vid 👍

See i was a bit concerned about the belt tentioner vibrating thinking the speing was failing. To find posts about the alternator pully failing as a common issue. I was under the impression i would need to get a new alternator. However seeing this video gives me a much better insight on if i need to fix or replace any pully parts. Your video was truely helpful! And i learned a few things from this video tonight. Definately bookmarking this for future reference.

What an interesting repair. You had me scratching my head regarding the clockwise method to spin the tensioner off. My first thought was that it is left handed, but not so! You're spinning the alternator shaft from 'behind', meaning that the pulley bearing is threaded onto the shaft with right hand threads.... Like turning the workpiece to thread on a bolt, you spin the opposite way!

I have this problem on my 06 Audi A3 1.9tdi, the belts makes so much noise, was really dissapointed when i got a new tensioner coz it didnt change anything and only this morning whilst reversing in the driveway, the alternator decoupler pulley seized and fell off. Upon investigating the tensioner, i realised i could replace the coupler pulley. After fitting another 2nd tensioner again this morning i realised the noise problem is still there and that got me searching on youtube and im glad i found this video

I’m not gonna lie the first time I came across this I replaced the tensioner. It was good for about a week and started rattling again, ended up being the pulley. Now I always check the alternator pulley when checking out belt noises.

@@ThePracticalMechanic hopefully this is the cause of my start up rhythmic belt whine which changes with RPM and goes away after 5mins.. Would you have any knowledge around this?

@ThePracticalMechanic 4 жыл бұрын

It can cause a whine or chirping noise if the alternator pulley is is trying to lock up and then releases. Sometimes the whining noise can be cause the alternator itself when it try’s to recharge the battery after startup. You may want to pickup a cheap stethoscope from harbor freight and see if you can tell where the whine is coming from. I would then pull the serpentine belt off and see if the noise goes away. This confirms that the problem is indeed in the belt drive system. Is you have a gasoline model the noise could be from secondary air injection pump as well. I had a passat in the shop a few days ago that had turbo whine for about 3minutes after startup as well.

Would you recommend the specific tools you have over the others or would you say the others might have an advantage over the set featured in this video? Also, is the Hazet decoupler socket a high quality tool or just a good tool? Do you have an opinion on the triple squares you have compared to SnapOn's version? Finally, my MKIV GTI VR6 has 136K miles and the original pulleys. Am I pushing the limits of the pulley's life, and the life of the alternator at this point? Unsure how long each typically lasts on a MKIV GTI 2.8L VR6 or even a MKIV GTI 1.8L. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Why is the tensioner still vibrating so much at the end of the video? I have replaced all pulleys and put a new serpentine belt along with a new tensioner. However, the tensioner is vibrating just like in this video, and it makes a fairly loud hissing noise. The mechanic says it's normal but doesnt seem normal to me. I've seen a few videos of this engine where the tensioner barely moves, this is the first video in which the tensioner vibrates just like mine.

nigel mitchell it seems strange that VW routes the belt this way but it is the correct routing for this engine. The serpentine belt is double sided and has micro-v profiles on both surfaces. VW changed to a much longer belt and much more complicated belt routing a few yrs later and on those the compressor does rotate in a clockwise rotation.
