Model: Vauxhall Zafira Zafira C, MK 3 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Timing belt

Here are the instructions for replacing the belt: first, lift the car and remove the plastic wheel arch liner on the front right and the lower engine cover panel. At this point, you can access the belt; to remove it, you need to loosen the tensioner pulley, which will allow the belt to come off. Take the new belt (check the model code of the belt that fits the vehicle first) and position it. Tension the new belt and refit the tensioner in place.
