How to replace the timing belt on the Volkswagen Polo?

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

On the Volkswagen Polo, the procedure for replacing the timing belt involves lifting the car with a jack or ramp so that the bolts securing the front right wheel can be loosened: once this is done, the wheel can be removed by loosening the central nut of the tensioner pulley. When the old belt has been removed, you can fit the new one around the respective pulleys; at this point, tension the belt to ensure everything functions correctly after installation.
