Hi All

Does anyone know of a video or something that can show me how to change the belt. Every video I find is for a petrol and does not have the steering pump at the top. There has to be some trick how you get the belt over the top pully but I cannot spot it. I have a long 14mm spanner to push the tensioner right back but no chance. Oh, I did compare the old belt length with the new and they are the same.

Thanks
 
Ok, found one. The trick is to put the belt around the alternator last and not the steering pump.

Thanks
