Detailed Description

The Gates TCK309 timing belt kit is a direct service solution for the Suzuki Forenza timing drive system. It is designed around a 169-tooth HSN belt with a curvilinear tooth design, a spring tensioner, and two idlers to support proper belt routing and tension control during replacement. This part number, TCK309, is intended for 2004-2008 Suzuki Forenza applications listed with interference engines.

As part of Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit line, this kit reflects Gates’ focus on complete timing system service rather than replacing only the belt. That approach helps streamline parts sourcing for Suzuki Forenza timing belt jobs and supports a more complete repair on the engine valve train side.

This part cross-references Continental TB309K1 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Worn or stretched timing belt service intervals
• Noisy or rough-running timing drive components
• Loss of belt tension from aging tensioner hardware
• Idler bearing wear in the timing system
• Timing system refresh on Suzuki Forenza interference engines

Installation Notes

Follow the included instructions and the vehicle service procedure for timing alignment, tensioner setup, and component inspection. Because this kit does not include timing marks on the belt, verify camshaft and crankshaft positioning before removal and during installation. Replace related timing components only after confirming the engine application and service requirements for the specific Suzuki Forenza model year.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures timing belts and timing component kits for OEM and OE-equivalent service applications. TCK309 is built to Gates’ timing system standards for service life, quality, and performance in the listed Suzuki Forenza fitment.
