The band could be worn to the point of slipping, but not completely worn out.

The necessary instructions are included in the manuals and the process is not that arduous. (Hard or difficult.)
Hello Trevor, I could ask mechanic to firstly inspect these two things you mentioned, as they should be easy for him. If repair would cost say 500EU, why not drive with VTD for year or two and then swap, right :-) Filip
