The manufacturer of the Fiat 500 L recommends replacing the auxiliary belt at least once every 6 years or every 75,000 miles. This video will show you how to replace this component without going to a mechanic, saving on labour costs.

To remove the old belt, lift the front bonnet and remove the engine cover. Then, remove the front wheel to access the lower cover and all elements covering the tensioner.

Once you reach this point, loosen the belt, remove it, and replace it with the new one.
