I got 1180 mile on 146 of gas. That was cheap gas in Europe tho.
I get on average170 miles to 50 ltr.
Not really worked it out as mpg against petrol.
It costs me £28 for 50 ltr
Just filled it up.
I'm monitoring my dosing on of the valve saver fluid this is why I'm only putting 50 ltr at a time.
I will post some pics if I can work out how too.

You need to remove the viscous fan to get to the belts. I think it loosened in the opposite direction than what one would expect.
Do you know if the belts have ever been replaced before? If not, you might as well change the pulley and tensioner, too. One of them was updated after the car left the factory to keep the belt better on.. I think it was PQR500350.

When mine got done we had access to tools but Atlantic British did it with just a wrench and a pry bar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IghvL4sh4M. Not that everything on YouTube is an universal truth but AB tends to have pretty good videos and I haven’t managed to up anything by following them... yet.

A pry bar and a spanner mine came off not too much drama.

I used a large adjustable. I had to remove a couple of pully bolts to get them in due to the width of the spanner.
It was larger than the 32mm we had.
Sorry could not be more specific on size.
