To replace the timing belt on the Volkswagen Polo, lift the car with a jack so you can loosen the bolts securing the front right wheel: this wheel must be completely removed to access the side of the engine block. Here, locate the central nut of the tensioner pulley; once it is removed, you can also slide off the belt to fit the new one, ensuring it is correctly tensioned and verifying that everything functions properly.
