Video tutorial

To replace the timing belt, open the bonnet and remove the plastic cover above the front grille. Also, remove the right front wheel and the wheel arch liner, as well as the lower engine protection cover.

Working from the side where the wheel was removed, locate the tensioner for the auxiliary belt and loosen it to extract the belt itself. Unscrew the retaining bolt of the tensioner and remove it. Return to the upper engine compartment and unscrew the mounting bolts for the right engine mount.

Access the upper and side covers of the timing belt and remove them. Mark the position of the teeth on the camshaft and crankshaft gears relative to the engine with a marker.

Then, remove the lower auxiliary belt pulley and subsequently remove the timing belt tensioner. At this point, you can extract the belt and replace it. Finally, reassemble all components in reverse order, following the sequence.
