Eh up all,
Before I start on my suspension rebuild I had a quick look at the aux belts on the car and they look a little tired so think I will replace them.
Mines a 3.0d 2005 plate auto, I wonder if anyone can offer a how too on this job.
I’ve just done my daughter Fiat 500 that involved dismantling a whole host of parts to get to the blasted belt - please tell me it’s going to be an easy job for a change.
Also any views on belt brands - usually go for Gates or Conti.
Thanks in advance

Replacing Aux belt - any advice
Re: Replacing Aux belt - any advice
Very easy job to do.
You can feed the belt round the cowl/fan and a 16mm spanner on the spring loaded tensioner job done.
I use Gates or Conti.

Alan,
Good to hear from you.
It’s realy as easy as that , it looks a sod to get to from above, looks like the fan has to come out .
Mines the facelift 3.0d - am I wrong and making it a big deal when it’s really simple
Be The first easy job on this - I’m still recovering from a simple air filter change
Cheers again all advice greatly appreciated

Cheers for that, still a little vexed I’ve tried this site before and cannot say I found it overly useful.
Will have a look see
Others may have done this job so hope for some other guidance
Cheers again
