What It Helps Address

• Timing belt wear, cracking, or age-related deterioration
• Loss of proper belt tension from a worn tensioner
• Noise from timing system components nearing service limits
• Maintenance needs on interference-engine timing systems
• Incomplete timing service when only the belt is replaced

Installation Notes

Verify engine code and vehicle application before installation. This kit includes installation instructions, and the timing belt does not include timing marks. Follow factory timing procedures carefully, especially on interference-engine Volkswagen and Audi applications such as Golf, Jetta, and 4000 models. Replace related timing components as required by the service procedure and confirm correct belt routing, tensioner setup, and cam/crank alignment before starting the engine.

Quality Assurance

Gates is a major OEM supplier of timing belts and timing component kits, and the PowerGrip Premium OE line is built to deliver OE-equivalent fit, service life, and performance for timing belt replacement service.
