Drive belt aka alternator belt aka v belt aka ribbed drive belt - replacing in Renault Scenic 2, 1.6 16V

Today I will show how to replace drive belt in Grand Scenic fitted with 1.6 16V 113BHP engine
 Remove wheel bolts cover - I use 2eu worth plier instead of original key that costs around 20eu




 Loose bolts then lift up the car



 Remove wheel and secure car by putting it under the chassis (I had bad experience with car jack - take a look on Coil and shocks replacing post)




 You will have to remove mud guard by removing clips...




 ...and bolts.









 Remove 4 bolts that cover belt














 You can easily take off the belt by pulling it just by hands




 Belt removed




 In case you don't remember the way the belt goes




 Now. If you have somebody to help you and you have 16 mm (very rare) ring spanner key follow these 3 pictures...









 ...if not look below




 I made a lever using spanner open/box one




...used the another one to lift the first one by supporting it on a ratchet key lying down on an alternator...




 ...the end of it I put under alternator cantilever. I put the belt on and slowly released my lever.




 Make sure you the the right replacement belt
.



 New belt is on




 Now put all back again




Thanks
