While replenishing my antifreeze on my face lift 2.2 dti cdx I noticed the auxiliary fan belt was getting a bit tatty. Not wanting to be forced to a halt in some zombie ravaged hell of a deprived council ignored district I decided to change it. Well after scanning the maintenance guides for a few pointers, I was stumped to find none. And to make matters worse there is no Haynes manual for my car. And not having access to a humpbacked dwarf as is necessary for most under the bonnet jobs but refusing to be beaten I managed to glean some info from other publications, and I got the job done. Minus most of the skin from my knuckles of course. Then I thought it would be a good idea to write a guide for doing this job, but I don't seem to be able to post in the right section. So I am suggesting some one who can post in the maintenance guide area may want to post a guide. But of course if one already exists and I have missed it then please feel free to ignore this request.

This one is good enough for most things, the 2.2 isn't that different from the 2.0 ....... ask here for what's not included in it.

If you do still feel like writing a guide then post it in the 'Test' section. When you are happy with the result send Jimbob a pm & ask for it to be added to the maintenance section .

When you do it, take some pics, and write a guide
