Today, learn how to replace the timing belt of the 2008 Fiat Punto. To perform this operation, open the front bonnet and use a 13 mm spanner to loosen the pulley.

While holding the pulley in position, slide off the belt. To reintroduce the timing belt on this type of vehicle, it cannot be inserted from above and rotated; instead, it must be inserted into the pulley from below and then lifted upwards.

Once the belt is in place, tighten the pulley and start the vehicle's engine to ensure it returns to position.
