How to Replace the Timing Belt on the Citroën C3?

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing belt on the Citroën C3, open the bonnet to access the engine compartment. Next, remove the side plastic cover of the engine and possibly move some obstructing parts for easier access to the pulleys. These will need to be loosened by unscrewing their central bolts, and you must also loosen the tensioner pulley. When all these components have been loosened, the belt can be removed and replaced with a new spare part. After the replacement, you can reinstall all the previously removed parts.
