Lift the bonnet and secure it. Then, using a screwdriver, unscrew the locking pins of the ventilation pipe and remove the soundproofing panel from the engine bay. Raise the car on a jack. Start by loosening the tensioner bolts with a socket spanner (remove the belts).

Once the belts are removed, disconnect the water pump. Finally, refit the water pump in the engine bay. Install the new belts and their covers.

Refit the soundproofing panel of the engine.
