How to replace the timing belt in the Audi A3.

Model: Audi A3 8Y, MK 4 - Years 2020-2026
Part: Timing belt

In today's video, we will see how to replace the timing belt in the 1.6 TDI engine of the Audi A3. We can either remove the front bumper or lower the engine to facilitate the operation. If you do not want to do this, you can still proceed in the same way. We locate the timing belt and proceed to remove it, detaching it from its seat, being careful with the components. We recommend performing this operation when the engine is cold and simultaneously replacing the water pump. Once this is done, we can proceed to reassemble the components in reverse order.
