HI just got myself a nice we clio diesel but want to change the belt I was suprise to find that Haynes recommend the use of a special gauge I've done loads of Citroen belts with no problems does this mean I cant do it or am I best getting a garage to do it?
thanks

I've seen this question elsewhere here. Apparently the gauges are unlikely to be used in a garage anyway and you just need to be able to twist the belt 90 degrees in the middle of its longest run.
Haynes are being cautious to avoid compensation claims.
