How do you replace the timing belt of the Audi A3?

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part: Timing belt

The procedure for replacing the timing belt on the Audi A3 involves lifting the car with a jack or a lift, so that the right front wheel is not in contact with the ground: once this wheel has been lifted, it will be possible to loosen the bolts that fix it to its hub. In this way, it will be possible to loosen the nut that secures the tensioner roller to its housing, so that the tension of the belt is reduced; at this point, it will be possible to insert the new belt around the pulleys, bringing it back to tension and verifying that everything is functioning properly.
