How do you replace the timing belt of the Audi A3?

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part: Timing belt

In order to replace the timing belt of the Audi A3, you need to open the hood so that you can access the components located inside the engine compartment: on the left side, under the appropriate panel, you will find the belt around the pulleys. By removing the right front wheel and the corresponding wheel arch, you can loosen the central nut of the tensioner pulley and reduce the tension of the belt: it can now be removed and replaced with a new spare part, mounting all the components that were just removed.
