How to Replace the Timing Belt on a Peugeot 407

Model: Peugeot 407 MK 1 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing belt on a Peugeot 407, access the engine bay and remove the left side cover of the engine block. You will also need to remove the front right wheel along with its wheel arch liner to access the components inside. Loosen the central bolt of the pulleys to reduce the tension on the belt and slide it out of its housing. Once the old belt is removed, fit the new one around the pulleys, reassembling all previously removed parts.
