Genuine Timing Belt and Tensioner Pulley Sets

What you need to know:

Timing belts synchronize and manage engine operation and ensure that pistons and valves flawlessly interact, while driving the injection and water pump.
The belt’s back and teeth are made of high-strength, durable, temperature-resistant polyamide fiber.
Indications of timing belt wear include brittleness, hardening and cracking of the rubber material.
Contamination, excessive tension, buckling or bending the timing belt during installation can cause it to partially tear or completely break.
If the timing belt breaks, the engine’s valves and pistons will knock against each other, leading to damaged cylinder heads and consequent costly repairs.
More than half of all engine damage in older vehicles is attributable to malfunctioning timing belts.
During its service life, a timing belt travels an enormous rotational distance within the engine, equal to more than six times around the globe.
Genuine timing belts are available as kits that include tensioner pulleys and idlers – which saves both time and money compared to ordering the individual parts.

Genuine timing belts are highly reliable due to being optimally designed to cope with all types of engine load, as well as being slightly twisted to prevent slippage, thus maintaining a constant degree of tension.
They are extremely resistant to heat and moisture. Even extreme fluctuations in temperature have no impact on their performance.
Tensile cords reinforced with high-strength glass-fiber, the positive-fit teeth that are angled in the direction of rotation, and the arc-like profile of the rubber teeth (Power Grip® HTD) combine to provide optimum power transmission.
Optimal material composition, a high resistance to mechanical and thermal stress, and an abrasion-resistant coating on the rubber teeth ensure a long service life.
They are very quiet, run very smoothly, and make a decisive contribution to driving comfort.
