The procedure for replacing the timing belt on the Volkswagen Jetta involves lifting the car with a jack or ramp so that the front right wheel is not in contact with the ground. Once the car is lifted, loosen the screws that secure the wheel and remove it along with its wheel arch.

Behind these components, you will find the belt, which must be removed by loosening the central nut of the tensioner pulley. This will allow you to remove the old belt and fit the new one around the pulleys, ensuring everything functions correctly.
