How to Replace the Timing Belt on a Ford Fiesta?

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

To replace the timing belt on a Ford Fiesta, loosen the bolts securing the right front wheel and the corresponding wheel arch, both of which can be removed. This will allow you to detach the side cover of the engine block. You can now remove the engine block cover to access the components underneath; slide the belt off the pulleys by loosening the central nut of the tensioner pulley. At this point, fit the new belt around the pulleys, ensuring everything functions correctly.
