How to Replace the Timing Belt on the Fiat Punto?

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing belt on the Fiat Punto, open the bonnet to access the engine bay and remove the upper engine cover. Next, remove the side cover to access the pulleys. These must be locked, and you will need to unscrew the central pin of the tensioner roller to reduce the tension on the belt. This will make it easier to extract and replace it with a new spare part. After the new belt is installed, reposition all previously removed parts.
