How to Change the Timing Belt on a Kia Sportage

Model: Kia Sportage SL, MK 3 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Timing belt

Replacing the timing belt is necessary when it starts to show signs of wear, such as unusual noises. In the following video tutorial, you will see how to remove the timing belt from a Kia Sportage. Start by opening the bonnet to remove the engine side cover. Once the cover is off, loosen the tensioner pulley and then the pulley itself, allowing you to extract the belt.
