How to Replace the Timing Belt on a Kia Picanto 1.1

Model: Kia Picanto 2A, MK 1 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Timing belt

Replacing the timing belt is essential maintenance for the engine and must be carried out by qualified personnel, as certain fundamental precautions must be observed, such as aligning the timing marks. With the engine positioned on a support stand, everything is certainly clearer; the first step is to align the timing marks of the camshaft and the crankshaft pulley. Once aligned, loosen the tensioner, remove the belt, install the new tensioner, and correctly tension it with the new belt.
