Video tutorial

Hello, today you will replace the auxiliary belt on an Alfa Romeo. First, lift the car on the passenger side using a jack, turning the wheel outward to remove the wheel arch liner.

Unscrew the screws holding the wheel arch liner and any engine cover. Now locate the tensioner bearing and with a 16 mm spanner pull towards you to loosen the belt and remove it. If you do not remember the exact position of the belt, draw a diagram on paper of its original position.
