Continental TB314 Engine Timing Belt

Continental TB314 Engine Timing Belt

The Continental TB314 engine timing belt is built for import applications that demand steady cam and balance shaft synchronization. It is a fitment-based replacement for select Hyundai Santa Fe, Sonata, and Kia Magentis and Optima models, including interference-engine applications where timing accuracy matters.

Key Features

• Mod-curvilinear tooth profile for smooth engagement and consistent tracking
• 65 belt teeth for the specified engine timing application
• 0.50 in. top width and 20.47 in. belt length
• No timing marks
• Engineered for high load-bearing capacity to reduce slippage risk
• Built for durability in high-temperature and demanding operating conditions

Product Details

Continental Import TB314 is an engine timing belt for select 2000-2006 Hyundai and Kia vehicles. It is specified for 2001-2006 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2000-2005 Hyundai Sonata, 2004-2006 Kia Magentis, 2003-2006 Kia Optima, and 2001-2002 Kia Optima applications. The belt’s mod-curvilinear tooth design supports stable power transfer, while the specified tooth count, width, and length help maintain correct timing geometry in the engine. This part cross-references Bando TB314 and Gates T314 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Timing belt wear that can lead to loss of synchronization
• Slippage concerns in high-load engine operation
• Premature belt deterioration from heat and demanding driving conditions
• Noise or irregular operation caused by worn timing components
• Balance shaft system timing issues in the listed applications

Installation Notes

Replace the timing belt and related drive components at the manufacturer-recommended service interval. Verify engine code, belt length, tooth count, and the absence of timing marks before installation. For interference-engine Hyundai Santa Fe and Sonata applications, correct timing alignment is critical during service. Confirm fitment for your exact year, make, and model before ordering the Continental TB314.

Quality Assurance

Continental supplies import-focused engine components with specifications intended to support reliable timing performance under demanding operating conditions. The TB314 is built to meet the dimensional and tooth-profile requirements listed for the covered Hyundai and Kia applications.
