Hello,

A friend has asked me to replace the belt on the Citroen Picasso C3 vtr+, as I'm aware it is a case of useing a 15mm spanner and levering the auto tensioner and replacing the belt but space from top is very limited and I was wondering if this can be done from below by remove the engine cover as I do not want to remove the wheel arch liner

Thanks

Why not. It can give you a much better view of what you are doing. Just some plastic clips :)
