In this video, you will see how to replace the timing belt on a Fiat Punto 1.4. First, from the driver's seat, open the engine bay. Once the bonnet is open, it is easy to locate the belt, which, as shown in the video, is on the left. To remove the belt, loosen it by pivoting a 13mm spanner on the bolt located at the centre of the tensioner pulley.

Once the belt is removed, proceed with the replacement, ensuring that the grooves of the new belt align with those on the pulley.
