How do you replace the timing belt of the Škoda Octavia?

Model: Skoda Octavia MK 3, 5E - Years 2012-2019
Part: Timing belt

In order to replace the timing belt of the Škoda Octavia, you need to lift the car by loosening the screws that secure the front right wheel and also removing the corresponding fender: once these two components have been removed, it will be possible to access the belt located on the left side of the engine block. By loosening the central nut of the tensioner pulley, it will be possible to reduce the tension of the belt and remove it from the pulleys, inserting the new one; after the replacement, the removed parts can be reassembled, checking the engine's functionality.
