To replace the timing chain on the Opel Vivaro, lift the vehicle and remove the front right wheel along with the corresponding wheel arch cover. This will allow access to the lower engine sprocket, which needs to be loosened to reduce the chain tension.

To remove the chain, you will also need to loosen the tensioner from the top of the engine. This will allow the old chain to be removed and replaced with a new spare part; after installation, reinstall all previously removed components.
