The Quick And Cheating Way

Most of the time you’ll want to lower the right side of the engine, doing this allows you to gain access to the pulleys, tensioners and belts. You can also change the alternator and waterpump.

Remove the rear panels, Jack the rear of the car up, remove the wheel and remove the wheel arch liner.

The belts have a protective cover held in with a pair of slide out clips. There is one of these located on each side of the suspension spring cup.

Using a pair of pliers, wiggle and pull and they will slide out, the guard will come loose.

You don’t have to remove the X-frame but it will give you better access to the engine later on if you do. If you do want to remove the x-frame, Remove the bolts from the X frame on either side and remove it from the car. The lower E18 bolt is 100Nm on refitting.
