Detailed Description

This Gates timing belt component kit is engineered for timing belt service on 1999-2006 Audi A4, 1999-2006 Audi A4 Quattro, and 2001-2005 Volkswagen Passat applications listed below. The TCK306A kit is intended for interference-engine timing service where accurate belt tracking, tension control, and component replacement are critical.
