Today, we will see how to replace the auxiliary belt on the Ford Focus. Open the front bonnet by pulling the internal lever, then lift the vehicle on a ramp.

Locate the bolt to loosen and act on it. Now the timing belt will be loosened from the pulley, allowing you to remove it easily. Install the new belt (available at all online and physical spare parts shops), ensuring it is tensioned correctly.

Once done, check the accuracy of the work and lower the car from the ramp. Let it run and verify everything is okay.
