How to Replace the Timing Chain on the Opel Vivaro?

Model: Vauxhall Vivaro MK 2 - Years 2014-2019
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing chain on the Opel Vivaro, loosen the bolts securing the right front wheel, removing the inner lining of the wheel arch along with it. Once removed, open the bonnet to detach the left side of the engine block. This will provide access to the underlying timing chain, which can be removed by loosening the bolts securing the chain tensioner; once the old chain is removed, install the new one and check its operation.
