If you are talking about the belt for the ac compressor, yes the heater should still work. If the blower is not working, you will need to have the blower motor checked for voltage and ground.
the belt slips, and the engine goes into limp mode, and the epc light will come on- to protect itslef until its fixed. Once its fixed...you may have to decode her up to 9 times to get it to start...I did. Ive done 5 timing belt changes on these blasted cars and every time it slips a tooth and the engine cuts itself off with epc, i have to decode it at least 8 times. good luck. and to the idiot who said gas cap..get a life .
The serpentine belt diagram for 1998 VW Passat 1.9 TDI: CS = Crankshaft F = Fan pulley Gen = Alternator T = Tensioner AC = Air Conditioning PAS = Power Assisted Steering
having driving mine for a yr now, noticed some pulleys without a belt but never thought much about it. Thought aircon just needed service till the belt for alternater, fan, power steering snapped, the mechanic told me then that the other missing one was for aircon. Two belts plus cam belt????? driving too many things ! so just check to see if all belts are still there, they snap easily `cause of the multi purposes....
Could it be a battery shape? Red in color - means "Generator". VW recommends not driving if this stays on. Alternator belts may be loose or broken and/or electrical malfunction
if theres a constant squiek comin frm the car all the time it mite not be the tensior some times the altantor goes to replace the belt put it round the bottm weal first then wrk ur way up then
