In this video, see how to replace the auxiliary belt on a petrol Renault Clio IV: open the bonnet and disconnect the battery by unscrewing the negative terminal. You will also need to lift the vehicle at the front and remove the wheel from the passenger side.

Additionally, remove the wheel arch liner to access the internal components: you can now see the accessory belt, which drives the alternator to charge the battery, operates the power steering, the air conditioning compressor, and the water pump. In this system, there are two belts without tensioners.

Cut the belts with a pair of side cutters. Take the new belts, ensuring the writing on the belts faces clockwise: Start by installing the alternator belt on the inner run of the crankshaft pulley.

There is a special tool for installing these belts, which makes the task easier by always rotating the pulley clockwise. The other belt must be fitted to the air conditioning compressor and the outer run of the crankshaft pulley.

Now, refit the wheel arch liner and then the wheel. The job is complete.
