Replacement of Auxiliary Belt and Tensioner

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

To replace the auxiliary belt, you need to remove the front right wheel (passenger side) and the corresponding wheel arch liner to access the belt itself; then loosen the wheel fixing nuts before lifting the vehicle, and complete both the lifting and removal of the wheel; at this point, remove the wheel arch liner and loosen the auxiliary belt tensioner to slip off the belt and complete the removal of the tensioner itself: there is not much room for manoeuvre as the spanner must be inserted through the spokes of the pulley; then proceed in reverse for the installation of the new tensioner, then insert the new belt and tension it using a lever to push the tensioner and tighten the corresponding fixing pin.
