How do you replace the timing belt of the Mercedes GLA?

Model: Mercedes Gla MK 1, W156 - Years 2013-2019
Part: Timing belt

In order to replace the timing belt of the Mercedes GLA, it is necessary to lift the car so that the right front wheel is not in contact with the ground: this can now be removed along with the corresponding wheel arch, so that access to the left side of the engine block is possible. Here, the belt tensioner pulley will be present, which can be removed from its seat by loosening the central nut and reducing the tension of the belt: the new one can now be inserted to verify that everything is functioning correctly.
