Video tutorial

Watch this video for the disassembly and replacement of the timing belt on a Renault Clio. Open the bonnet and lift it, securing it in place. Raise the car with a jack, remove the wheel along with the associated splash guard, and disconnect the power wiring if present using pliers.

Use a spanner to loosen the tensioner pulley and slide the belt off its seat. Using a socket wrench, unscrew the tensioner pulley bolt and remove the water pump.

Fit the new water pump, the tensioner, and the belt itself, tightening everything with the socket wrench. Finally, install the fan kit with the securing bolts.
