To replace the timing belt on the Seat Leon, lift the car to access and loosen the screws securing the front right wheel and remove the corresponding wheel arch liner. Once these components are removed, loosen the central nut on the tensioner pulley to reduce the tension on the belt, allowing for its removal.

After the old belt is removed, install the new one, tension it, and check that everything is functioning properly.
