Detailed Description

Gates TCK295A is an engine timing belt component kit for vehicles that require a 201-tooth, 30 mm wide HSN timing belt with a modified curvilinear tooth profile. The kit is engineered for timing service on a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Volkswagen models, including 2005-2010 Chrysler 300, 2006-2010 Dodge Charger, 2008-2010 Dodge Grand Caravan, and 2009-2010 Volkswagen Routan applications. This part number also cross-references Continental TB295K2 for the same application.

Use this kit when replacing timing components on select 2003-2010 Chrysler and Dodge engines where the belt and tensioner are serviced together. The Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit line is built to streamline complete timing repairs with OE-equivalent component selection and application-specific coverage.

What It Helps Address

• Worn or stretched timing belt service intervals
• Noise from a failing timing belt tensioner
• Loss of proper camshaft and crankshaft timing
• Timing service on interference-engine applications
• Incomplete timing repairs when the belt and tensioner are replaced separately

Installation Notes and Tips

Review the included instructions before installation and follow the vehicle-specific service procedure. This kit does not include timing marks on the belt, so accurate engine timing setup is required during installation. Confirm engine configuration carefully, especially on 2005 Chrysler Pacifica applications and other interference-engine listings that note exclusions for the cam tensioner hydraulic assembly.
