quote: Practically the same as the 1.2 8v. Take off upper cam belt cover, set Top dead centre by haynes manual remove crankshaft pully bolt, (with right front wheel off for easy access) remove alternator belt, remove pully from crankshaft remove lower cam belt cover find the two plates of the tensioner, pull together by hand or scriber point remove old belt, and fit new belt. refit everything and the pully bolt with a torque wrench. :wave: :thumbs: | |

It may not be a case of just replacing the belt itself either, sometimes the little teeth the belt sits on need replacing. Mine needed new teeth and rollers (or something along those lines) which meant it cost more. Got mine done a Vauxhall so if it snapped i'd be able to blame them. | |

Have a look at it. If it looks OK i'd leave it but make sure it is ok as i can feck up ur car bad style. The one on my 106 looks new | |
