Replacing the Alternator Belt on Ford C Max

Model: Ford C Max MK 1 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Alternator

When the alternator belt needs replacing, you will hear a defective noise from it. Remove the engine cover (without losing the clips that secure it), remove the front right wheel and lift the vehicle. Unscrew the Torx screws that secure the protection panel beneath the engine bay and remove it. At this point, loosen the bolts that maintain tension on the belts and remove them, keeping in mind how the new ones will be fitted. Finally, proceed in reverse order to fit the new belts and all the removed parts.
