PowerGrip Premium OE Line

The PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt line is Gates’ OE-focused timing belt range for vehicles that require precise camshaft and crankshaft synchronization. The T337 follows that OE-style approach for applications such as Kia Optima, Kia Magentis, Kia Rondo, and Hyundai Santa Fe timing belt service.

Detailed Description

Built for engine valve train service, the Gates T337 timing belt is specified for 2006-2012 Kia Optima, 2007-2010 Kia Magentis, 2007-2012 Kia Rondo, and 2007-2009 Hyundai Santa Fe applications listed with interference engines. This part cross-references Bando TB337 and Mitsuboshi CD337 for the same application. If you are replacing a worn timing belt on a Kia Optima or Hyundai Santa Fe, the Gates T337 provides the OE Exact dimensions and construction needed for proper timing system service.

What It Helps Address

• Cracked, glazed, or worn timing belt surfaces
• Noise from an aging timing belt in the valve train
• Loss of camshaft and crankshaft synchronization
• Timing service on interference-engine applications
• Replacement of a belt that no longer meets OE dimensions

Installation Notes

Verify engine code and timing system specifications before installation, especially on 2006-2012 Kia Optima, 2007-2010 Kia Magentis, 2007-2012 Kia Rondo, and 2007-2009 Hyundai Santa Fe models. Because these are interference-engine applications, correct timing alignment is critical during service. Inspect related timing components and confirm belt routing and tension settings against the vehicle service information.

Quality Assurance

Gates is a global OE timing belt manufacturer with broad coverage for import and domestic vehicles. The T337 is engineered to meet or exceed OE standards for fit, function, and performance in the specified applications.
