How to Replace the Timing Belt on a Volvo V40?

Model: Volvo V40 MK 2 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance

To replace the timing belt on a Volvo V40, open the bonnet to access the components located inside the engine bay. On the left side, remove obstructing components such as the windscreen washer reservoir and the air filter to access the side of the engine block. Here, there will be a protective panel that must be removed by loosening the fastening screws; some screws will be accessible by removing the right front wheel and the wheel arch liner. At this point, loosen the central nut of the tensioner pulley, remove the belt itself, and replace it with a new one.
