Lift the car on a column lift and remove the undertray located beneath the vehicle. Then, using a screwdriver, unscrew the screws of the right wheel splash guard (if space is limited inside the engine bay). Use a fixed spanner to loosen the tensioner pulley and slide the belt off its seat.

Using a socket spanner, unscrew the securing bolt of the tensioner pulley, and remove the water pump as shown in the video. Fit the new water pump, the tensioner, and the belt itself, tightening everything with the socket spanner.

Refill the new coolant at the end of the maintenance.
