How do you replace the timing belt of the Seat Leon?

Model: Seat Leon 1P - Years 2005-2013
Part: Timing belt

It will be possible to replace the timing belt of the Seat Leon by lifting the car in order to remove the front right wheel: once it has been detached from its hub, it will be possible to loosen the screws that secure the inner lining of the corresponding wheel arch. In this way, access to the side of the engine block will be obtained and it will be possible to remove the tensioner: the tension of the belt will be reduced and it will be possible to remove it from the pulleys to insert the new one. After the replacement, it can be checked that everything is functioning properly.
