How do you replace the timing belt of the Citroën C3?

Model: Citroen C3 SY, SX - Years 2016-2023
Part: Timing belt

In order to replace the timing belt of the Citroën C3, you need to access the left side of the engine block: this can be done by removing the right front wheel of the car and the corresponding wheel arch. Here you will find the belt tensioner pulley, which must be removed by loosening the central nut: once the pulley is removed, you can slide the belt out of its housing and insert the new one. The new belt must be tensioned properly to ensure everything works correctly.
