Answer 1

you can start it BUT make sure fan belt bits have not gone behind cambelt /cover or oops!!

Answer 2

clios have no fanbelts,it might be the accesory belt and you`d better replace it because the radiator/water pump for engine cooling will not work and you`ll have an engine overheating issues....................



take it to a shop near your place and have the replace it.............

Answer 3

you can start the engine but you cant run it long enough

while the engine is on pay close attention to the temp gauge don't let it goes to high or you can get serious problems
