See how to change the auxiliary belt on an Opel Vivaro II 1.6 CDTI: lift the front of the vehicle, remove the wheel from the passenger side, take off the wheel arch liner, unscrew the T20 screw, and remove the clips. Remove the protective plate from the crankshaft pulley.

It is advisable to take a photo to maintain the original layout. Using a 16mm socket, lift the tensioner and loosen the belt, then remove it. You can find the belt kit + tensioner + idler on auto-doc.it with EAN code 7316572391860 for €61.99 + €9.90 delivery.

Reposition the protective cover, the protective plate, the wheel arch liner, and the wheel. Lower the vehicle, and if you disconnected the battery, reconnect it.
