Tensioner and belt replacement

[Andyman]

Can anyone give me any advice on changing the auxiliary belt and tensioner on a Clio 172??

Are there any specialist tools needed ??

Just been told i need one pronto by my Reno garage

yeah i guess i need to know this as well if its as easy as everyone says.
how much are the bits?

My dealership want £240 for supply and fitting

If its easy to do without messing up il have a bash myself. Just the thing of making a mistake and the belt comes off into the cambelt worries me some what.

Need to see how easy it is 1st

 

[Millsy]

yeah that worries the crap out of me too

There good reason why its 2.7 hour work to do offical as its a bit of a pain 172 Cups and hybrids with no air con or PAS are the only easy ones.

No special tools though.
