The timing belt on a Renault Laguna vehicle must be replaced between 60,000 and 120,000 km. To replace the belt, we need to open the front hood of the car and remove the engine cover. We lift the vehicle on a scaffold to access the belt more easily.

We loosen the tensioner pulley nut to remove the worn timing belt. We lubricate the new timing belt with WD 40 oil and insert it into the pulley.

We tighten the tensioner pulley nut and lower the vehicle to the ground.
