To replace the timing belt on a Ford Fiesta, access the left side of the engine block. Here, you can unscrew the nuts that secure the central pins of the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys.

This will reduce the tension on the belt, allowing you to remove it from its housing. After removing the old belt, fit the new one around the pulleys, ensuring they are aligned correctly.

Once installed, reinsert the nuts and adjust the belt to the correct tension.
