To replace the timing belt on an Audi Q3, open the hood to access the components in the engine compartment. On the left side of the engine block, you will find a protective cover, under which are the pulleys and the belt.

By removing the right front tire and the corresponding wheel well liner, you can also remove the tensioner pulley by loosening its central nut. This will reduce the tension on the belt, allowing you to install the new one around the pulleys, ensuring everything functions correctly.
