How do you replace the timing belt of the Volkswagen Polo 1.2 TSi?

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

It will be possible to replace the timing belt of the Volkswagen Polo 1.2 TSi by lifting the car with a jack or a bridge so that it is possible to loosen the fixing screws of the corresponding wheel: once the right front wheel has been removed, the inner lining of the wheel arch must also be removed. In this way, the belt tensioner pulley can be identified and removed to reduce the tension of the belt itself: at this point, it will be possible to remove the old belt in order to insert the new one and verify that everything is working.

How to Remove the Front Bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso?

To remove the front bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso, you need to take out all the rivets and screws that secure the piece to its housing: these screws are located inside the wheel arches of the front wheels and at the central upper part of the bumper itself. Once all these fastening elements have been removed, you can detach the bumper from its seat by disconnecting the connectors inside and then insert the new replacement part. The new part can then be secured and connected properly, ensuring it is correctly fixed in place.
