Timing Belt Kit
Automotive Aftermarket
No half measures: For maximum safety, when the timing belt is replaced all other parts of the timing drive subject to wear and tear should be replaced at the same time. This is why Timing Belt Kits from Continental contain all the parts required for professional belt replacement. In addition to the tensioning and idler pulleys this means - depending on the vehicle - the tensioning damper and any minor parts which may need replacing such as screws, nuts, springs and washers. This is practical and saves time because all the necessary parts are at hand. Workshops only need to place a single order to receive all the individual components which are required, ideally matched.

Notes
Handling:
Timing belts must not be creased since this will cause the glass-fiber tension members to break inside the belt. The belt’s load-carrying capacity is then no longer assured and it can tear. Consequence: Engine failure.
Replacement interval:
Belt drive components are subject to aging and wear. They therefore have to be regularly checked and replaced. The checking and replacement intervals are always specified by the vehicle manufacturer and must be complied with.
Storage:
- Store in a dry, dust-free and cool place (ideally 15-25°C)
- Avoid direct sunlight
- Avoid contact with all liquids (oil, water etc.)
- Maximum storage period: 5 years from date of production (see packaging)
Tips:
- Leave timing belt and components in their original packaging until ready for use
- Continental offers a wide range of special tools for fitting
- If the water pump is also driven by the timing belt, this should be replaced, too. Continental offers complete kits plus water pump for this purpose.
