How to replace the drive belt in the Volvo C30?

Model: Volvo C30 MK 1 - Years 2006-2013
Part: V-belt

In this tutorial we can see how to replace the serpentine belt in the Volvo C30, a very simple operation. First of all, we lift the front right side of the vehicle, taking all necessary safety measures, then we remove both the wheel and the inner cover of the wheel arch. We then grab the tensioner with a Torx T40 key, rotate it downwards to release the tension and remove the old belt. At this point, all that remains is to position the replacement in the same way, following the pattern, and reassemble everything following the reverse procedure.
