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.
