Removing the aux belt

[mark123]

This is on a 182 FF.

I've removed bumper and slam panel. I can see the tensioner. It has a torx type bolt at the top and bottom and a square hole at the bottom next to the bottom torx bolt.

Which one of these releases the tension?

Can I just remove one of the torx bolts and get it off that way?

Thanks

You can just remove the top torx bolt to let the tention go, then lever the fooker back down and get the bolt in.

But the proper way is to get a 3/8 square drive in the square and pull it towards the front of the car (IIRC)!

Hope this helps.

Pull it towards the front? That Renault manual going about has you pushing towards the back?

Anyone know which way for sure?

Just do it either way untill the belt gets slacker. I cant remember off the top of my head.
