How to replace the V-belt on a Citroen Xara Picasso N68

Model: Citroen Xsara Picasso MK 1 - Years 1999-2012
Part: V-belt

In this video, we will see how to replace the V-belt on a Citroen Xara Picasso N68: we need to safely lift the vehicle just enough to get underneath and see the arrangement of the belt; let's take a photo to remember how the belt is installed: we will need it when we put it back in place. We will need to pull sideways on the tensioner pulley of the V-belt using a 16mm wrench in order to remove it. Now let's put the tensioner pulley back in its original position: we find the complete kit belt + tensioner + belt guide on autodoc. It has the code 542R0062 at the price of 60.25 euros + 9.90 euros for shipping costs. Now we just need to reinsert it in its place and it's done.
