How do you replace the timing belt of the Volkswagen Polo?

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK IV, Polo IV, Polo 4, MK 4, 9N - Years 2001-2009
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing belt of the Volkswagen Polo, you need to lift the car with a jack so that the right front wheel is removed from its housing: once this wheel has been removed, you can proceed by detaching the inner lining of the corresponding wheel arch. You can loosen the tension of the belt by removing the central nut of the tensioner roller: once the old belt has been removed, you can insert the new one. The new belt must be tensioned to ensure that everything is functioning properly.
