Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how to replace the auxiliary belt on the Opel Meriva B: first, remove the fasteners of the wheel arch cover on the right front wheel using a Torx T25 screwdriver; this will allow you to remove the wheel arch liners. Next, remove the belt pulley using a 19 mm spanner, after which you can easily take off the belt.

Typically, when replacing the belt, you should also change the pulley and the tensioner. However, it is worth checking their efficiency.

You can purchase the complete kit, for example, on auto-doc.it with the code 4010858588175, priced at £101.00 + £9.95 for shipping. Then, refit the belt in its original path, ensuring it is properly tensioned on all pulleys, and reassemble the wheel arch cover before lowering the car. Job done.
