To replace the timing belt on the Ford C-Max, access the left side of the engine block where the timing belt is located. To gain access, remove the right front wheel and the corresponding wheel arch liner.

Then, loosen the central nut of the tensioner pulley to remove it, allowing the timing belt to be extracted. After removing the old belt, fit the new one around the pulleys, tension it, and check that everything is functioning correctly.
