Replacement of the Timing Belt

Model: Mazda Cx 7 MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Timing belt

The timing belt is one of the most important components within the engine of our cars. This guide shows how to replace it once you have acquired a new one. This part should be replaced every approximately 50,000 miles to avoid unpleasant surprises or potential failures at inconvenient times. The timing belt is located on the right side of the engine, so lift the car, remove a wheel, and start disassembling the components you encounter. It is very important to have the right tools and prepare a numbered diagram to help recognise the parts during reassembly.

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
