How to replace the timing belt of the Ford Fiesta

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Timing belt

The timing belt of the Ford Fiesta is located inside the front hood, specifically under the air filter box. To replace the belt, we need to open the front hood and remove the air filter box. We unscrew the nut on the air duct clamp and then unscrew the screws on the filter box to completely remove it from its seat. Using a wrench with an extension, we loosen the nut on the pulley to loosen the tensioner roller and remove the belt. We insert the new belt and tighten the nut on the pulley. We reassemble the air filter box and start the car's engine to let the belt rotate.
