Replacing the auxiliary belt on a Ford Fiesta 1.2 is shown in the video at 2:14 (2 hours and 14 minutes). The auxiliary belt is crucial as it enables the engine to function (the alternator relies on it), powers the air conditioning compressor, operates the power steering pump, and supplies the water pump, affecting various components of the vehicle.

Therefore, it must be checked annually and replaced by a qualified technician, as any mistakes during installation can damage several elements in the engine bay.
