Replacing the Timing Belt

Model: Renault Clio MK 2, Clio 2 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Timing belt

Once you have removed the plastic cover protecting the timing belt, rotate the crankshaft pulley until all timing marks are aligned: to facilitate disassembly, it is necessary to remove the engine mount (so support the engine with a jack). At this point, using a pair of pliers, loosen the tensioner to remove the timing belt (it is advisable to replace the tensioner and the bearing along with the belt).
Then reposition the belt, ensuring that the timing marks are maintained, and tension it by adjusting the appropriate tensioner.
