How to Replace the Timing Belt of the Citroën Xsara Picasso?

Model: Citroen Xsara Picasso MK 1 - Years 1999-2012
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing belt of the Citroën Xsara Picasso, open the bonnet to access the components located on the left side of the engine bay: here you can loosen the central bolts of the pulleys, particularly those of the tensioner roller. This will reduce the tension of the belt, allowing you to remove it from its housing; once it has been removed, insert the new one, reposition the pulleys, secure them with the bolts, and check that everything functions correctly.
