Replacing the PAS Belt


PAS belt next – the tensioner for this is held on by 2x 13mm bolts which are hidden behind the engine mount. Easy enough to get at though, they are roughly where the arrows point (but behind the mount, obviously………)

The PAS belt is tensioned by turning it with a 17mm spanner, it has a bolt in the centre to allow you to do this. Fit the new belt and tension appropriately.

Refit the splash shields, refit the wheel and take it off the jacks. Start the engine and listen for any strange noises, if all has been done correctly it should run as sweet as a nut. Investigate any odd noises quickly, as they could become expensive quite rapidly.

Well, that’s it – job done. Give yourself a hot bath, a beer and a takeaway to celebrate.

You’ve just managed what Fiat say can’t be done :)
