Replacing the timing belt requires basic mechanical knowledge, as a simple mistake could severely compromise the engine. Remove the timing belt cover and align the timing marks perfectly; then remove the cover from under the wheel arch to access the crankshaft pulley and the auxiliary belt tensioner: loosen the tensioner to remove the auxiliary belt and take off the crankshaft pulley.

Next, dismantle the engine's side support to complete the removal of the timing belt and its tensioner. Proceed with replacing the tensioner and the belt, then reassemble everything in reverse order.
