Product Details

Continental Import timing belts are selected for import engine service where accurate synchronization matters. The TB212 is specified for 1994-2002 Chevrolet Tracker, 1994-1997 Geo Tracker, 1995-2001 Suzuki Esteem, 1997-1998 Suzuki Sidekick, 1996-1998 Suzuki X-90, and 1999-2002 Suzuki Vitara, including interference engine applications noted in the fitment data. This part cross-references Gates T212 and Cloyes B212 for the same application. The Continental TB212 is a practical replacement choice when servicing the timing system on these vehicles.

Common Problems This Part Helps Address

• Timing belt wear from age and heat exposure
• Belt slippage that can affect engine timing
• Noise or irregular operation from a deteriorated belt
• Loss of synchronization in the valve train system
• Premature belt failure from extended service intervals

Installation Notes

Replace the timing belt at the manufacturer-recommended service interval and inspect related drive components at the same time. Because several listed applications are interference engines, correct timing alignment is critical during installation. Verify engine code and fitment before service, and confirm the belt tooth count, length, and width match the original specification.

Quality Assurance

Continental timing components are built to support reliable engine operation under demanding conditions. The TB212 is designed to maintain consistent performance and durability in import engine service.
