How do you replace the timing belt of the Fiat 500 1.2?

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Timing belt

In this video we see how to replace the timing belt and not only, here we also show the work concerning the auxiliary belt, for those interested. Although this guide video was made on a Fiat 500L, the method of work, being identical to the Fiat 500, can be considered relevant. First of all, it is necessary to remove the protective cover of the belt, then loosen the tensioner and remove the belt from its seat. At this point, after verifying the compatibility of the replacement, we proceed with the installation and assembly of all the previously disassembled parts.
