How to Replace the Timing Belt on a Renault Megane

Model: Renault Megane Megane III, Megane 3 - Years 2008-2015
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing belt on a Renault Megane, lift the car to loosen the bolts securing the front right wheel, then remove the wheel completely. Once the wheel is off, loosen the bolts securing the inner wheel arch cover to remove it and access the pulleys around which the belt is fitted. By loosening the central pins of the pulleys, you can remove the old timing belt and replace it with a new one, refitting all previously removed parts.
