Not hard at all.

I can't remember which one that is but there is two aux belts. Ours has AC so might be that.

Anyway, one you just stretch it over, that's ribbed, other was a tensioner, I did it with a spanner.

Wait, yours is 16v right? Might be different.

Anyway, it's really easy on mine, no trouble at all. Wouldn't pay to have it done. Take off wheel, take of plastic shield and you are there.

Just trying to remember which is which. The ribbed one is in front, the alterntor is behind IIRC. I've gotta move it in a min, will take a look.
