Hi, My panda 4x4 1988 is making a noise that sounds like screaming. I´m pretty sure it´s the generator/serpentine belt. If been searching the forum but i can´t find a tutorial or explanation on this. can someone point me in the right direction or tell me how to do it. Thanks!!

Yeah sure it's quite easy.
Jack up the right side of the car and remove the right front wheel. When you remove the wheel you can see a black plastic cover on the "wall" of the engine bay. Remove that cover. Now you can see (looking from below) the two bolts that hold the alternator. Loosen the bolts (but don't remove them).
Now the alternator can pivot so you can get the tension off the belt. Remove the belt, put the new one on, and re-tighten the bolts while pushing the alternator backwards to tension the belt. This last step is easier if one person pushes the alternator (from above) and one tightens the bolts.
Hope that makes sense.
