WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan, 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan, 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan, 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited, and 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:
Handle the belt pulley carefully. The belt pulley is sensitive to impact.
If the overload protection of the belt pulley is tripped, check the A/C compressor for ease of movement, before replacing the belt pulley. Replace an A/C compressor that is not operating smoothly.
If the drive plate overload protection was activated, the belt pulley can be rotated using the outer part of the drive plate so that the A/C compressor shaft and the hex fitting on the drive plate (inner part of the drive plate) do not rotate.
