Gates T306RB Engine Timing Belt

Gates T306RB High Performance Timing Belt

The Gates T306RB is a high performance automotive timing belt built for engines that see higher horsepower and elevated heat. It uses HNBR elastomeric composite construction and fiberglass cord reinforcement to help maintain strength and stability in demanding engine environments.

Key Features

• Curvilinear (II) profile for precise tooth engagement
• HNBR belt material for improved heat resistance
• Fiberglass cord material for added tensile strength
• Blue high performance timing belt design
• 150 teeth with an 8 mm pitch and 47.26 in pitch length
• No timing marks for applications that do not require printed alignment marks
• Fits interference engine applications listed for Audi, Volkswagen, and related platforms

Product Details

Built for performance-focused engine service, the Gates T306RB timing belt is specified for a range of Audi A3, A4, A4 Quattro, S3, TT, and TT Quattro models, along with Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, Jetta, Passat, and Clasico applications. The belt’s HSN construction and fiberglass reinforcement are selected to handle the demands of engines that operate under higher load and temperature conditions. This part number, T306RB, also cross-references Gates T306 for the same application.

For buyers searching for an Audi A4 timing belt, Volkswagen Jetta timing belt, or Audi TT Quattro timing belt, this Gates belt provides the correct performance-oriented specification where the listed fitment applies. The blue finish and curvilinear tooth profile align with Gates’ RPM timing belt line for high-output street and performance use.

Common Problems This Belt Can Address

• Cracked or worn timing belt material from heat exposure
• Tooth wear that can affect camshaft and crankshaft synchronization
• Belt stretch or loss of tension in higher horsepower engines
• Noise or irregular operation from an aging timing belt
• Service replacement for interference-engine timing maintenance

Installation Notes

Verify engine code, tooth count, pitch length, and OE-style routing before installation. This belt is listed for interference engine applications, so correct timing alignment is critical during service. Because timing marks are not printed on the belt, use the proper engine timing procedure and inspection tools for the specific Audi or Volkswagen application.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures this RPM timing belt line for performance-oriented engine service using heat-resistant HNBR composite materials and fiberglass reinforcement. The T306RB is engineered to meet the dimensional and material requirements shown in the fitment data for the listed Audi and Volkswagen applications.
