BodybyFisher Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 I was afraid to look at this thread, I wonder how he first decided to do this 'trick'....UM, I think Ill change my belt with the car running? Maybe his battery was dead? and he couldnt turn it off?, amazing what some people will try Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Jim Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 My Uncle used to be a VW mechanic. Some of the older... (kinda wore out)... VW's were real hard to start if you shut them off. I have seen him do this a couple of times. "I" didn't want to try it.... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAUL T Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I will have to watch it again to see if he had all of his fingers. My luck the screw driver would fly out and embed itself in my chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimD Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 A friend (who is pretty good with a wrench and a former air-cooled VW owner) in Rockwall County, TX sent me that video several months ago. I called him and asked if he knew where we could find a running VW; I wanted to practice that procedure!! Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE !

KHE Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 It seems like that procedure (in addition to being hazardous to one's fingers...) might break the cords in the belt.

BodybyFisher Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I like wrenches too much to short cut the process like this, In actuality, the new belt should not fit, if the tension was adjusted as the old belt got old.
