How to replace the timing belt on an Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 MK 3, 8V - Years 2012-2019
Part: Timing belt

If you want to replace the timing belt on your Audi and you are familiar with the mechanics, you can follow this video in which we will show you what to do, step by step. We start by removing the engine cover and making room on the engine side where the belt is located in order to have room for maneuver and we remove the cover. Now align the marks for setting the pulleys and mark the position of the lower one. Remove the belt tensioner retainer and remove the belt and then the belt tensioner itself. During reassembly, be careful to place it in the correct position.
