To replace the timing belt on a Ford Fiesta, open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the left side, there will be a plastic cover that needs to be removed to access the belt underneath. By removing the front right wheel and the corresponding wheel arch liner, you can loosen the central nut of the tensioner pulley, reducing its tension and completely removing the belt.

The new belt can then be fitted, reassembling all the removed parts.
