Video tutorial
Detailed instructions - The auxiliary belt drives the alternator, air conditioning, and power steering pump, and should be checked every 37,282 miles. Take a photo of the belt in position before removing it to assist with reassembly. Locate the tensioner, which will allow you to release the tension on the belt so you can remove it. It is advisable to replace the tensioner along with the belt. You can find the kit on apt-autoricambi.it with code 40576868 for £34.08 plus £9.95 for shipping. Install the new belt following the path shown in the photo, then release the tensioner until the correct tension is achieved.
