Replacing the serpentine belt on a New beetle is not easy as it was on the old one.

First you need to remove the Water tank, and undo the hoses near to the water tank.
Then you remove the three bolts securing the tensioner with a 13mm socket wrench, and release the tensioner.
Then you replace the belt.

The procedure is explained here on pages 2 to 5, do not go over page 5, the rest of the procedure is on replacing the timing belt, and you risk to damage your car by touching the timing belt.

Once you replace serpentine belt, ensure that the pumps is running, that the belt is well in tension, and that is solidly there, not slipping out.

All the repairs must be done or supervised personally by a qulified mechanic.

Regards.

The foul smell is coming from too much eating sweet yum.

First you empty water, then remove fan, and radiator.
You need to follow the step by step procedure from a manual, buy the haynes manual for new beetle here is an example on ebay.
Replacing radiator is not a difficult operation, but if you do not do it properly you can damage your car, check that fan is working, water pump is running ok and that there is no leaking after doing the job.
