On the Volvo XC90, you can replace the timing belt by opening the hood and loosening the bolts that secure the right front wheel. Then, remove the corresponding wheel well and the side protection panel of the engine block to access the belt underneath.

The timing belt can be removed from its position by loosening the bolts that secure the tensioner, reducing the tension, and sliding it off completely. At this point, install the new timing belt, tension it properly, and verify that everything functions correctly.
