To replace the poly-V belt on a Citroën C3, open the bonnet to access the engine compartment; then, loosen the bolts located between the two pulleys around which the poly-V belt is situated. This will allow you to move the tensioner pulley, which, once moved, will relieve tension on the belt, making it possible to remove it from the pulleys.

Once the belt is removed, insert a new belt and tension it by refitting the tensioner pulley with the respective bolts. Finally, close the bonnet and check the correct operation of the component.
