Question Fan Belt

I think the fan belt on my cinq need changing the car makes a squelling noise when it's cold, it goes after a few minutes. Is the fan belt easy to change and it there anything I should check or need to be aware of ?

Re: Fan Belt

Yep easy to change..... had this off on sat night when i did my waterpump and cambelt.....

Can't think of anything to watch out for tbh....

Other than my cambelt cover was bloody annoying to get off!

Re: Fan Belt

try tighening it first, loosen two of the alternator securing bolts and pivet it downwards and towards the back of the car - whilst doing that, get someone to re-tighten the bolts

Re: Fan Belt

When I did my cambelt dunno if it helps much with the fan belt but i took my headlight out so it's all easier to get to.....
