Today, replace the Poly V belt, a longitudinally ribbed drive belt with high resistance to friction. Open the hood.

Remove the bolts securing the black and white covers of the engine and transmission compartments. Using a T55 Torx wrench, slightly pull the pulley of the belt tensioner, then remove the belt.

Install the new timing belt carefully, as this is the most complex part: Ensure it wraps completely around the transmission and all the pulleys, just as the old belt was mounted. Once done, return the pulley of the tensioner to its original position.
