- 1 x Flat idler
- 1 x Flanged idler
- 1 x Gates timing belt
- 3 x Oil seals (camshaft and crankshaft)
- 1 x Clearance gauge
Note: This kit does not include the tensioner bearing. It is strongly recommended to use a kit complete with a hydraulic tensioner assembly when servicing the timing system.
QUALITY & MANUFACTURING
Components are sourced from leading global OEM manufacturers and are produced to industry-leading standards and specifications. The kit features a genuine Gates timing belt and matched idlers and seals for reliable performance and durability.
RECOMMENDED OPTIONAL EXTRAS
Because labour is a major part of timing belt replacement, it is cost-effective to renew other wear items at the same time. Professional technicians commonly replace:
- Hydraulic tensioners
- Water pumps
- Drive and fan belts
- Engine pulleys
- Tensioner pulleys
Replacing these related components helps maintain engine reliability and reduces the risk of timing-related engine damage.
WARRANTY & SERVICE INTERVAL
Timing belt kits are warrantied for the full length of the original manufacturer’s recommended timing belt service interval (conditions apply). All kits use a genuine Gates timing belt and components selected for long-term reliability.
If you are unsure about compatibility with your specific vehicle, confirm fitment details with a qualified technician before installation.
