The procedure for replacing the timing belt on the Audi A3 involves lifting the car with a jack or ramp, so that the front right wheel is not in contact with the ground: once this wheel is lifted, you can loosen the bolts that secure it to the hub. This will allow you to loosen the nut that secures the tensioner pulley in its housing, reducing the tension on the belt; at this point, you can insert the new belt around the pulleys, tension it, and check that everything is functioning.
