Part: V-belt

In this guide we will see how to disassemble and possibly replace the poly-v belt for the Opel Zafira, model T98, first series.

The procedure involves carrying out the following steps: 1. Lift the car; 2. Pull the pulley sideways; 3. Remove the belt; 4. Return the pulley to its initial position; 5. Replace the old component with the new spare; 6. Position the new belt on the pulley starting from the underbody of the car and making it match up in the internal notches; 7. Reassemble everything by reversing the steps.
