Detailed Description

The Gates TCK262 is an engine timing belt component kit for interference-engine applications that require precise camshaft and crankshaft synchronization. The 124-tooth, 18 mm HCR timing belt uses a curvilinear tooth profile to help maintain stable engagement, while the included tensioning components support correct belt loading during installation and service. This kit is a practical choice for Volkswagen Golf timing belt replacement, Volkswagen Jetta timing belt service, Volkswagen Passat timing belt maintenance, and Volkswagen Cabrio timing belt repair, as well as the listed BMW 535i application.

This part cross-references Cloyes BK262 and Continental TB262K1 for the same application.
