How to Replace the Serpentine Belt on a Ford KA

Model: Ford Ka MK 1 - Years 1996-2008
Part: V-belt

In this brief and simple guide, you will see the steps to remove and replace the serpentine belt or the V-belt on a Ford KA. First, open the bonnet of your car and start by removing the right headlamp by unscrewing the fixing screws; this will allow you to access the V-belt. Now, loosen the tensioner to remove the V-belt from the pulleys; then install the new one, ensuring it is the original replacement, and check that it is correctly seated and runs smoothly between the pulleys!
