When should the timing belt be replaced in the Volkswagen Up?

Model: Volkswagen Up MK 1 - Years 2011-2024
Part: Timing belt

The timing belt of the Volkswagen Up, just like any other car on the road, must be replaced according to the manufacturer's guidelines, which is every 120,000 km. Only by doing this, irreversible damage to the engine can be prevented. The procedure involves lifting the car on the right side, removing the front right wheel, removing the cover of the timing belt, loosening the tensioner, and finally removing it from its seat and installing the new timing belt, putting the engine in phase.
