Dayco 95242 Engine Timing Belt - Camshaft

Dayco 95242 Timing Belt for Volkswagen Engines

The Dayco 95242 timing belt is an engine timing belt built for select Volkswagen camshaft applications. It uses a peroxide cured rubber compound with hi-temp, Teflon coated teeth to help maintain tooth integrity under heat and load, while the round tooth profile supports smooth engagement with the sprockets.
