How to replace the timing belt of the Mercedes M-Class

Model: Mercedes Mercedes Various
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing belt of the Mercedes M-Class, we need to open the front hood and disconnect the power cables with pliers, using a screwdriver we remove the plastic soundproofing panel. Using a fixed wrench, we loosen the tensioner pulley and remove the belt from its seat. With a socket wrench, we unscrew the tightening pin of the tensioner pulley. We insert the new belt and tighten the pin and the tensioner pulley. We insert the panel and reconnect the cables. Once finished, we start the vehicle to test its operation.
