This is for a Golf III Gti but i assume they're all similar. The PS pump is under the alternator. Looking from the front, work out how the bracket holds the pump, There are two 13mm bolts on the right hand side to loosen. Underneath the alternator, on the left, there is a 16mm bolt to loosen. Finally, there is another 13mm bolt on the left which goes into a bigger bolt - something like a 22 or 23mm. Loosen this 13mm bolt and then put the big socket on the bigger bolt and turn - presto, the pump rotates and tightens or slackens the belt. Tighten it so there is slight play in the belt, not rigid then tighten all the bolts you loosened.
