In this video tutorial, you can see how to replace the timing belt on the Citroen C3. First, position the vehicle on a mobile lift; there should be a pit underneath for inspection and maintenance. The tools you will need are: multi-purpose spray cleaner, sockets size 10, 13, and 22, a ratchet, a wheel arch cover, and wheel chocks.

Clean the tensioner bracket of the serpentine belt with a multi-purpose spray cleaner. Loosen the tensioner arm of the poly V belt using a 13 socket and ratchet.
