    Hi folks

    I'm going to change the drive belt on a 03 1.4 vvti Corolla. Do I need to remove the engine mount to make room for the job, or can it stay in place? Looks a bit tight for space...

    Just a 19mm spanner is needed,i removed the plastic engine cover thats all.
    make a note of which way the belt is routed:

    ps-the tensionor was Very ~Strong on the one i changed(2005 1.4 vvti)

    Is that the little splash cover underneath? SO just remove that & do it from the underside?

    Oh, even better so cheers. Finally is the belt tensioner in those a self adjusting one or will the belt need to be tensioned manually?
