How to Remove the Timing Belt from a 1.6 HDi Peugeot/Citroen Engine?

Model: Citroen Citroen Various
Part: Timing belt

Video tutorial

In this video, you can see how to remove the timing belt from a 1.6 HDi Peugeot/Citroen engine, and where to place the locking points to prevent the engine from going out of phase while removing the belt. It is very important to start with the water pump (if you do not decide to replace it, but since it is in a very difficult position to reach, it should be immaculate to avoid missing the opportunity to replace it). Place the locks on the belt tensioners, and follow the YouTuber who shows the correct reassembly of the belt, ensuring the teeth fit exactly into the sprockets, and following the precise path of the belt.

Also, pay close attention to the tensioning of the tensioners.
