The procedure for replacing the timing belt on a Ford C-Max involves opening the bonnet to access the bolts securing the protection panel on the left side of the engine block. You will also need to loosen the bolts securing the right front wheel, removing it along with the corresponding wheel arch liner.

This will allow you to loosen the central nut of the tensioner pulley, reducing its tension and removing the belt from its position; the new replacement part can now be fitted, ensuring that the engine runs correctly.
