Detailed Description

Continental TB152 is an engine timing belt for 1987-1991 Porsche 944 and 1992-1995 Porsche 968 models. It is specified for interference engine applications, where accurate timing belt performance is critical to engine operation. The curvilinear tooth profile helps maintain consistent belt engagement, while the belt dimensions and tooth count match the listed applications. This part number, TB152, is also referenced under cross numbers including Gates T152 and PowerStop B152 for the same application.

As part of Continental’s Import product line, this timing belt is intended for European vehicle service where correct fitment and reliable belt behavior are essential. If you are replacing a Porsche 944 timing belt or servicing a Porsche 968 timing belt application, Continental TB152 provides the specified dimensions and tooth configuration for those engines.

What It Helps Address

• Timing belt wear that can affect camshaft synchronization
• Slippage concerns in high-load engine operation
• Premature belt deterioration from heat and demanding use
• Noise or irregular operation caused by an aging belt
• Risk of timing loss in interference engine service

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the timing belt and related drive components at the manufacturer’s recommended service interval. Verify belt length, tooth count, width, and tooth profile before installation. Because this is an interference engine application, correct timing alignment is critical during service on Porsche 944 and Porsche 968 models. Confirm the application by year and engine configuration before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Continental supplies replacement timing components for import vehicle applications, and the TB152 is built to support consistent engine performance under demanding conditions. Use this part only where the listed fitment matches the vehicle application.
