Technical Fan belt replacement

[Rhona]

Hello,

A couple of days ago a noise could be heard from under the bonnet, I think its a fan belt breaking down and splitting, and hitting things as it turns. I have a 2002 JTD,does anyone know if this is a hard job to do? I've looked for a haynes manual, but the multipla is not in stock, is it the same as any other fiat engines??


Many thanks

This might not be as easy as it looks as one of the belts is long and loops around different items. Also, noise may indicate alternator problem. See these posts for ref. https://www.fiatforum.com/multipla/70394-multipla-jtd-alternator-lifecycle.html

Hi

Thanks for your reply, have got it sorted now. It seems the failing fanbelt had been breaking down for a while and it had ruined the pulley at the bottom, which cost us an extra £113! Gutted,

Next on the agenda is to sort out the leaky sunroof(s)
