How to Replace the Timing Chain on a Seat Ibiza

Model: Seat Ibiza 6L - Years 2002-2009
Part: Timing belt

Start by unclipping and removing the upper engine cover of your Seat Ibiza. Once done, unclip and remove the cover for the auxiliary belt and timing belt. At this point, lift the car, and then loosen the tensioner just enough to remove the auxiliary belt, followed by unscrewing and removing all related pulleys and the lower timing chain cover. This will give you access to the timing chain. Next, align it, remove the bracket that holds it in place, and the chain tensioner. Once you have completed this step, you can remove the timing chain, finishing the disassembly. To fit the new timing chain and close everything up, simply repeat this procedure in reverse, and the replacement will be complete.
