How to replace the V-belt on an Audi A6

Model: Audi A6 C6, MK 3 - Years 2004-2012
Part: V-belt

Before we start, we will have to go and open the front hood of our Audi A6. So let's start by loosening the belt tensioner that keeps the service belt in tension, using a wrench. By doing so, we will have freed the V-belt itself. We then proceed by disengaging and removing the V-belt from its seat, and disassembly will be correctly completed. To fit the new V-belt of our Audi A6, all we have to do is repeat this procedure in reverse, and we will have correctly completed the replacement.

How to Remove the Rear Bumper on the Ford Fiesta

The preliminary operation is to detach the rear wheel arch from the bumper to access the screws underneath that secure the bumper (the wheel arch detaches by extracting the two plastic screws with a lever). Now unscrew all the screws around the perimeter of the bumper (you can see them by opening the rear hatch) and now you can detach the plastic from the bodywork by gently pulling it outwards: during this operation, be careful not to break the locking pins. Once you have extracted and replaced the bumper, you can reposition it and secure it by following the same operations done previously.
