Replacing the timing belt on a Fiat Punto. Lift the car on a column lift or jack (if necessary, remove the front wheel, and use a screwdriver to remove the right wheel arch liner). Once these steps are completed, lift the engine bonnet, remove the engine soundproofing panel and the timing belt cover. Using a suitable spanner, loosen the tensioner pulley and slide the belt off its seat. Remove the water pump (as shown in the video).
