Replacing the auxiliary drive belt

REMOVAL

• Remove:

• the front right wheel,
• the engine undertray.

• Using a wrench, turn the bolt (1) of the automatic tensioner clockwise (arrow) to release the belt tension (2) (Fig.16).
• Remove the auxiliary drive belt (2).

INSTALLATION Installation is the reverse of removal, observing the following points:

• check that the tensioner and idler pulleys rotate freely (no play, no excessive noise, no hard spots),
• fit the belt following its routing (Fig.17).
