How to Replace the Timing Belt on the Fiat 500?

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing belt on the Fiat 500, open the bonnet to access the engine compartment. Here, you will need to remove the plastic covers located on the left side of the engine to access the pulleys. By also removing some obstructive parts like hoses or connectors, you can unscrew the nut that secures the central pin of the tensioner roller, reducing the tension on the belt itself. Reducing the tension will allow you to slip off the belt and replace it with a new spare part. After installation, you can also fit all the other components.
