To replace the timing belt on an Audi A5, you need to completely remove the bumper, taking it out of its housing to access the front of the engine block: here you will find the belt, which can be removed from its position by loosening the central nut that secures the tensioner pulley.

At this point, the tension on the belt will be reduced, allowing you to insert the new one; this can be tensioned by inserting the tensioner pulley, and after verifying that everything functions correctly, you can reassemble all the components.
