To replace the timing belt on a Volkswagen Passat, open the bonnet to access the components located on the left side of the engine. You will also need to loosen the bolts securing the right front wheel and the corresponding wheel arch liner to remove them.

This will provide access to the tensioner pulley, which must be removed by loosening the central nut. This will reduce the tension on the belt, allowing you to replace it with a new one, ensuring everything functions correctly afterwards.
