How to Replace the Timing Belt on the Opel Mokka?

Model: Vauxhall Mokka Mokka A - Years 2012-2019
Part: Timing belt

You can replace the timing belt on the Opel Mokka by lifting the car with a jack or a ramp, so that the front right wheel is removed along with its wheel arch. At this point, loosen the bolt that secures the tensioner pulley, which is also located on the side of the engine: after removing this pulley, the tension on the belt will be reduced, allowing you to extract the old belt. The new one should be inserted by aligning the engine and tensioned again by reinstalling the tensioner pulley.
