How to Replace the Timing Belt on an Opel Mokka?

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

To replace the timing belt on an Opel Mokka, completely remove the front right wheel by loosening the bolts and detaching the inner cover of the wheel arch. Once these components are removed, you can loosen the nut on the tensioner pulley to reduce the tension on the belt; by opening the bonnet, you can locate the side cover of the engine block, beneath which the belt is situated. You can now slide the old belt off the pulleys, insert the new one, and check that everything functions correctly.
