Re: ECU pin outs for Siemens PPD1.5 please

Does anybody have a full pin-out list for the Siemens PPD1.5 ECU please ? I already know +12v and ground, but I need to find out which pins carry the 5v reference voltage. I know it's on T60 pin 42, but I suspect it is also on at least one other pin on either the T60 or T90. This is for a 2007 140H...

Is it whilst moving or stationary?

Stationary then likely to be a pulley bearing, but if moving low speed squeak from dirty or stiff brake calipers is a common thing which disappears at faster speeds.

Re: alternator belt

Most engines have the belt going around the crank past the tensioner over the alternator and around the ac compressor IF you have AC, if not you have the shorter belt but you will still need to release the tensioner with a 17mm short open spanner. The tensioner is often tight and it takes some caref...

I had the shorter non AC belt fitted whilst mine was out of action. At least VW engineered a practical solution to running the car with a broken AC compressor by allowing it to be bypassed!
