How do you get on a fan belt on a renault clio 99

bingo , first ever post with such a good test (ding ding !)
the steering clock spring contacts are bad.

that is the problem. (issues are pet stains)
now cure is new clock spring assembly.
how to fix it is covered in the service manual
Generic:

1. disable air bags SRS.
2. pull off bag from center of steering wheel.
3. pull off steering wheel. spec tools. *(called puller)
4. remove clock spring and replace it.
5. reverse order to finish up.

no Renault's in USA so no books to share here. 2013 zero.
last one here 1987 , long long gone and forgotten.

Purchase a new belt from the local Renault and than fit it if you cannot fit it yourself get a local mechanic to do the job

Consult the dealer with the chassis number ,or be more specific as to what you want to know

You are either low on Power Steering fluid or you need a new pump and/or Rack unit.

Hello i have a 1996 renault clio 1.4 how do i take off the cambelt so i can put the alternator belt if anyone has any ideas of how to remove it i will be greatful

I could be wrong, but I believe that model of clio is fitted with electric power steering. The electric motor is fitted inside the car on the steering column. If there is a problem with the steering it will need to be checked by a renault dealer. The power steering motor thermal cut out is a common issue.

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

It will cost you atleast $15 from a backyard mechanic or $25 max.

Hope this shed some light. Have a good one and thank you for using FixYa!

What you are hearing is the power steering belt slipping Screeching noise? Retighten all the front belts They will have "settled in" a bit after being refitted after cam job

Thanks for your speedy response, once the power steering pump drive belt had been removed the replacement alternator belt could be fitted quite easily.
Kindest regards.

Why the lights on my car meter are on. What's the problem?
