How do you replace the timing belt of the Volkswagen Passat?

Model: Volkswagen Passat B7 - Years 2010-2014
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing belt of the Volkswagen Passat, you need to open the hood so that you can access the components located on the left side of the engine. You will also need to loosen the screws that secure the front right wheel and the corresponding fender, so that they can be removed. By doing this, you will have access to the belt tensioner pulley, which must be removed by loosening the central nut. This will allow you to reduce the tension of the belt and replace it with a new one, verifying afterwards that everything is functioning properly.
