alternator belt change

[caitya]

Hi guys,

Is a difficult job to change the old belt for me who is not an expert mechanic?

Could somebody give a short tutorial how to do that?

Thank you very much!

Depends on the model. Petrol engines,car has to be jacked up and on axle stand,remove wheel liner front grill. Tensioner pulley needs to be loosened and in some cases removed,freeing the belt. Dci engines i believe requires dropping the whole engine out thank renault for messing that one up. Be careful with that pulley though,mine fell off and nissan wanted £130 to replace that!
