Part: Timing belt
Operation: How do you replace the timing belt of the Volkswagen Tiguan?

The replacement of the timing belt on the Volkswagen Tiguan is done by loosening the screws that secure the right front wheel and its fender, removing both components. Then, by opening the hood, you can access the left side of the engine block where you can find the cover panel, under which the timing belt is located. By unscrewing the central nut of the tensioner pulley, it will be possible to remove it and reduce the tension of the belt itself: the belt can then be replaced by reassembling all the removed components.
