Replacing the Auxiliary Belt on a Jaguar XKR

Model: Jaguar Xkr MK 1, X100 - Years 1996-2006
Part: V-belt

Lift the bonnet as high as possible, as shown in the video, until it is perpendicular to the car. To do this, release the lower attachment of the bonnet struts with a flat screwdriver, and insert a bolt into the holes of the bonnet's fixing bracket. Loosen the pulley that tensions the belt and remove it: I regret to inform you that on this model, removing the auxiliary belt is much more complex than usual, so arm yourself with patience and you will succeed. With the same patience, refit the belt following the exact pattern of the original, then tighten the pulley.

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
