Below we will see the steps that will show us how to dismantle and replace the timing belt of the Citroen C3 1.4 HDi. First, lift the vehicle and start by removing the front right wheel and the wheel arch; then remove the V-belt, loosening the tensioner, and then also the crankshaft pulley (unscrewing the central bolt).

At this point, remove the distribution cover, taking the necessary references before removing the old timing belt; replace it with the new original one. The video also shows the replacement of the water pump.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
