To replace the timing belt on a Citroën C3, access the left side of the engine block: this can be done by removing the front right wheel and the corresponding wheel arch liner. Here, you will find the tensioner pulley, which needs to be removed by loosening the central nut. Once the pulley is removed, slide the old belt out of its housing and insert the new one. Ensure it is tensioned correctly to verify that everything functions as intended.
