Product Details

Gates designs OE timing belts for broad import and domestic coverage, and the T326 follows that approach with materials selected for heat, wear, and contamination resistance. For Land Rover Freelander timing belt service, this belt is specified as a rear-position application and is built to maintain consistent camshaft and crankshaft synchronization where exact timing is critical. This part cross-references Dayco 95326 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Helps Address

• Timing belt wear that can affect engine synchronization
• Noise or irregular operation from an aging belt profile
• Heat-related belt deterioration in the timing system
• Contamination-related belt damage from engine bay exposure
• Loss of proper valve timing in interference-engine applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code, belt routing, and rear timing belt service requirements before installation. Replace the belt only after confirming the timing marks on the engine components, since this belt itself does not include timing marks. On 2002-2005 Land Rover Freelander applications, follow the manufacturer service procedure closely and inspect related timing components during service.
