Auxiliary belt replacement: Nissan NV200 1.5 dCi (K9K, K9K-274, K9K-276, K9K-292, …)
Step-by-step auxiliary belt replacement for the Nissan NV200 1.5 dCi: 28 steps. What to remove, in what order, and what to check after.
Ancillary drive belt renewal on the Nissan NV200 with the 1.5 dCi K9K diesel. The belt is reached through the front right wheel arch once the wheel and splash guard are off. Two tensioner layouts exist on this engine. With the mechanical tensioner, the tensioner is renewed and the belt is tensioned with the special tool until a tension gauge reads the specified value. With the automatic tensioner, it is simply released to slip the belt off and let go again once the new one is routed. One detail catches people out: the belt has five ribs while the pulleys have six, so the belt has to be kept level with the front face of each pulley. Get that alignment and the tension right and the job is straightforward.
🧭 Before you start
Remove the right front wheel and splash guard, release the tensioner and remove the old belt. Fit the new belt flush with the front of the pulleys, then either set the mechanical tensioner with the tool and a tension gauge or release the automatic tensioner onto the belt. Check belt tension, then refit the splash guard, wheel and engine lower cover.
Fits: platform codes 1.5, DCI, 85
Don't miss
- Identify which tensioner type is fitted before starting – the procedure differs.
- The belt has five ribs and the pulleys six; keep the belt level with the pulley front.
- On mechanical tensioner engines, the tensioner is renewed and tension set with a gauge.
- Check belt tension again after refitting before the covers go back on.

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
