The timing belt installed on the Opel Vivaro engine can be replaced by lifting the vehicle using a jack: at this point, it will be possible to loosen the screws that secure the right front wheel and the inner lining of its wheel arch. In this way, access to the side of the engine will be obtained: the tension of the belt can be reduced so that it can be replaced with a new spare part.

After replacement, the belt can be tensioned again by ensuring that the engine is functioning correctly.
