How to Replace the Timing Belt on the Suzuki Jimny?

Model: Suzuki Jimny Jb23, Jb33, Jb43, Jb53 - Years 1998-2018
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing belt on the Suzuki Jimny, open the bonnet to access the front of the engine bay, where the pulleys are located. These can be loosened, along with the tensioner roller, to reduce the tension on the belt for removal. Once the old belt is removed, insert a new spare part and tighten the pulleys and the tensioner roller again. After installation, close the bonnet and check that the new device functions correctly.
