How to Replace the Timing Belt on a Maruti Ritz

Model: Maruti Ritz MK 1 - Years 2009-2015
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing belt on a Maruti Ritz, open the hood and access the components on the left side of the engine block: here you will find the timing belt, which can be removed from its position by loosening the nuts that secure the central pins of the pulleys. This will reduce the tension on the belt, allowing you to remove it and replace it with a new one. After the replacement, reattach the nuts on the central pins of the pulleys, restoring tension to the belt.
