How to replace the service belt on an Opel Meriva

Model: Vauxhall Meriva Meriva A, MK 1 - Years 2003-2010
Part: V-belt

To replace the poly v belt (or service belt) you must first lift the car safely, so don't trust your jack. Remove the right front rubber and right front fender and pull the belt tensioner pulley sideways, and remove it, paying attention to how it was anchored. You can find a new Poly-V belt for around 13.00 euros on the major e-commerce platforms. Pay attention, when reassembling it, to the direction of rotation. Pull the belt tensioner pulley sideways, so that it has the right tension. Now you can refit the mudguard and wheel and return the car to the ground. The work is done.
