Disconnect and lift the bonnet. Next, remove the wheel arch liner on the right side to gain better access to the timing belt area.

In the video, you can clearly see the tensioner that needs to be unscrewed to relieve tension on the belt for removal. Now, proceed to remove the subsequent pulleys that are part of the timing system.

If it is not necessary to change the water pump as well, you can complete the replacement by retracing the steps for reassembling the various components, and you're done!
