The Continental TB225 engine timing belt is built for import applications that demand steady valve timing and dependable belt tracking. It is a direct-fit timing belt for select Audi S4 and Audi S6 models, with a tooth profile and construction aimed at consistent operation under heat and load.

Key Features

• Mod-curvilinear tooth design for smooth engagement and reduced noise
• 151 belt teeth for the specified engine timing application
• 0.75 in. belt top width and 47.56 in. belt length
• No timing marks
• Built for high load-bearing capacity and stable belt tracking
• Engineered for durability in demanding temperature conditions

Product Details

Continental Import timing belts are positioned for European vehicle service where accurate cam timing and long service life matter. The TB225 is specified for 1992-1994 Audi S4 and 1995-1997 Audi S6 applications, making it a focused replacement choice for owners servicing these Audi engines. This part cross-references Gates T225 for the same application. The Continental TB225 is also referenced by part number 40225.

For Audi S4 and Audi S6 timing service, this belt supports consistent engine synchronization and helps maintain balance shaft system operation when replaced at the manufacturer-recommended interval along with related drive components.

Common Issues Addressed

• Timing belt wear from age and heat exposure
• Belt slippage caused by reduced load capacity
• Noise or irregular operation from worn belt tooth engagement
• Premature belt deterioration in demanding driving conditions
• Loss of accurate engine timing from an overdue service interval

Installation Notes

Replace the timing belt at the manufacturer-recommended interval and inspect related drive components during service. Confirm engine code and application details before installation, since timing belt fitment is engine-specific. The TB225 uses no timing marks, so proper alignment procedures and service documentation should be followed during installation on Audi S4 and Audi S6 models.

Quality Assurance

Continental timing components are built for reliable fitment and consistent performance in import vehicle service. The TB225 is manufactured to support long-term durability and stable operation in high-temperature engine environments.
