How to Replace the Serpentine Belt on the Opel Astra?

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part: V-belt

To replace the serpentine belt on the Opel Astra, open the bonnet and remove the air filter box located near the right front headlight. To remove it, disconnect it from the pipes and loosen its securing bolts. This will allow access to the pulleys, and in particular, you will need to loosen the central nut on the tensioner roller. This should be removed, allowing you to extract the serpentine belt as well. Once all parts have been removed, you can replace them and install all previously removed pieces.
