The procedure for replacing the timing belt on the Volkswagen Passat involves lifting the car with a jack or ramp, so that the front right wheel is not in contact with the ground. This will allow you to loosen the bolts securing it to the hub and also detach the inner cover of the wheel arch.

Behind it, you will find the timing belt, which must be removed from its seat by loosening the central nut of the tensioner pulley. At this point, you can insert the new replacement part, ensuring everything functions correctly.
