How to Replace the Timing Belt on an Audi Q5

Model: Audi Q5 MK 1, 8R - Years 2008-2017
Part: Timing belt

The area where the timing belt is located is positioned immediately behind the front bumper, as the inline engine exposes the side of the engine this way. Remove the various components that obstruct access to the front of the engine. To extract the belt, you will need to rotate the tensioner pulley; this will make it very easy to remove the belt, which you can simply reinstall by comparing the two belts. Once you verify that they match, just retrace the steps described for reassembly.
