When Vw change the belt, the also change the waterpump at the same time, and robustnesskit is installed as well, beefed up rollers and cover are included in the kit. I had mine done at 120000k

The serpentine belt doesn't do the waterpump.
That's the timing belt.

Thank you Logic, winchy, and all. That (Logic) is the way it goes. Looks the same as the other pic also.
And yes it cost $56 Looked like there was some grit and rubber stuck in the grooves that had caused the belt to run off. Cleaned all this up, took an hour, then installed the belt in 10 min. All goes well now. A few things to note for others who might need to know:

1) Belt is 6PK-1555
2) Before replacing serpentine belt, remove the top cover to the timing belt. Check inside. Retention clips if required. Replace cover being careful to very correctly align interlocking tabs securely.
3) Make sure to remove any loose bits of belt.
4) If the timing belt is all ok - runs the water pump, and if there is charge in the battery, vehicle can be driven ok without power steering or head lights. Drove it for about 20min on the highway. (Apparently can be driven over 100km depending on battery level to operate computer/injection etc.)
5) Make sure to clean any dirt or rubber thoroughly from pulley grooves before replacing serpentine belt.
6) Check pulleys spin ok.
7) There is a small hole in the arm of the tensioner pulley. Using a socket/spanner lever back arm fully then insert a small hex key or similar strong pin into this hole which then holds back the sprung tensioner arm/pulley.
Replace serpentine belt. Not difficult with diagram (above) and locking pin in hole. With the right sized belt observing smooth/v-groove placement, there appears to be only one obvious path.
9) Check belt is seated carefully. Check timing belt cover is secure. Go.

Thank you very much. I ended up driving it back to a friends garage near home and figuring it all out ok. Just wondering, where did you get that diagram from? Is there somewhere I can download these?

No worries.
I sent you a message.

Hey, I forgot.

This is not bad either.
