Replacing the Timing Belt and Water Pump on a Fiat Stilo

Model: Fiat Stilo MK 1 - Years 2001-2010
Part: Timing belt

In this guide, we will replace the timing belt and water pump on a Fiat Stilo. Lift the car on a column lift, remove the front wheel using a screwdriver to take off the right wheel arch liner. Use a spanner to loosen the tensioner pulley and remove the belt from its seat. Using a socket wrench, unscrew the tensioner pulley bolt, then remove the water pump as shown in the video. Install the new water pump, the tensioner, and the belt, tightening everything with the socket wrench. Reattach the rivets with the wheel arch liner and reassemble the wheel with the tyre on the vehicle.
