Follow this video to remove the timing belt and water pump on a Renault Clio. Lift the car on a column lift and remove the undertray located under the vehicle, then disconnect the hose connected to the radiator with pliers. Remove the right wheel splash guard with a screwdriver. Use a fixed spanner to loosen the tensioner pulley and slide the belt off the pulley. With a socket spanner, unscrew the tensioner pulley retaining bolt, and remove the water pump as shown in the video.
