How to Replace the Timing Belt on a Citroën C3?

Model: Citroen C3 SC - Years 2009-2016
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing belt on a Citroën C3, loosen the bolts securing the right front wheel and the corresponding inner wheel arch to access the components underneath. Here, you will need to loosen the bolts securing the pulleys around which the belt is installed, reducing its tension. Once the tension of the belt has been reduced, you can completely remove the belt. Then, install the new replacement part by re-securing the pulleys and mounting the wheel.
