Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how to change the auxiliary belt on a Peugeot 208: first, set aside the tensioner pulley using a 13 mm spanner. Then, remove the toothed trapezoidal belt; take a photo of the belt arrangement or keep a diagram handy to help you fit the new belt in the same position.

Now, refit the tensioner pulley in its original position, but only if it is still in good condition; otherwise, this is a good opportunity to replace it. Install the new belt and secure the pulley with the 13 mm spanner. Run the engine to test it.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
