Part: Timing belt

This video shows how to replace the timing belt. First, remove the underbody plastic covers, then take off the tensioner using a 14mm spanner. Next, remove the six bolts from the largest pulley and take out the water reservoir for better access. You need to disassemble the difficult-to-remove timing belt cover; once removed, take off the crankshaft pulley, paying attention to its alignment mark for reinstallation. Loosen the various tensioners and remove the worn parts. When reassembling, check the correct tension of the belt.
