How to Change the Timing Belt on an Alfa Romeo 156

Model: Alfa Romeo 156 MK 1 - Years 1997-2007
Part: Timing belt

To carry out this specific operation, remove the right wheel for greater convenience and space during the work. Next, lift the bonnet to access the top of the engine, from which you will need to remove the leads feeding the spark plugs. You will also need to remove the upper part of the cylinder head, allowing you to take off the plastic cover that protects the timing belt. Now, position the tensioner pulley at rest and extract the old belt to remove it.
