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

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Timing belt

In order to replace the serpentine belt of the Volkswagen Polo, you need to lift the car with a jack so that you can loosen the screws that secure the right front wheel to its hub. Once the wheel is removed, you can detach the inner lining panel of the fender to locate the serpentine belt. This can be removed from its seat by loosening the tensioner pulley screws and pulling it out from the appropriate pulleys; after removal, you can insert the new belt, making sure that it rotates correctly.
