Remove and replace the timing belt on a Renault Clio: lift the car on a column lift or jack (if necessary, remove the front wheel, using a screwdriver to detach the right wheel arch liner). Once these operations are completed, lift the engine bonnet, remove the engine soundproofing panel and the timing belt cover (plastic or metal).

Using a spanner, loosen the tensioner pulley and slide the belt off its seat, then use a socket to unscrew the tensioner pulley bolt, and remove the water pump as shown in the video. Fit the new water pump (previously removed), the tensioner, and the belt itself, tightening everything with the socket.

Finally, fit the rivets with the wheel arch liner and reassemble the wheel.
