PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit Details

The PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit by Gates is engineered to meet original equipment specifications for timing belt replacement. The kit contains three components: a single timing belt, one hydraulic tensioner, and one idler pulley. The timing belt is constructed from HSN material, known for its heat and wear resistance, and features 150 curvilinear teeth designed to reduce noise and improve belt engagement. The belt width measures 23 mm (.906 inches), suitable for the specified Audi and Volkswagen engines. The hydraulic tensioner maintains optimal belt tension, which is critical for engine valve timing accuracy. This kit does not include timing marks on the belt, so proper alignment during installation is essential. Comprehensive installation instructions are provided to assist with correct setup.
