Timing Belt Kit + Water Pump

Contents

• Timing belt
• Water pump, if necessary with seal
• Tensioning pulleys, idler/guide pulleys, tensioning damper
• Small parts such as screws, nuts and springs
• Hard-wearing change sticker

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
• Comply with general fitting tips for water pumps
