Timing Belts

Gates is the only manufacturer approved by virtually every major OEM to provide timing belts for new engines. This means that Gates is able to cover the aftermarket with timing belts that are OE-equivalent or better in service life and performance.

More than 80% of modern vehicles have interference engines. Choosing a non OEM equivalent belt may severely shorten life and cause major internal engine damage.

Timing belt systems in modern passenger vehicles are highly engineered and technically demanding products. As underbonnet temperatures increase as well as belt change intervals, ensuring that the timing belt is manufactured to OEM specifications is critical. For this reason, Gates has colour coded our belt constructions so that it's easier to identify the right belt for your application. Remember, always use the correct construction for your vehicle. Failure to do so could result in expensive repairs.

Gates Timing Belts are designed to handle a wide speed range and constant, synchronous drive power requirement common to overhead camshaft applications. OEM equivalent and profile. Meets or exceeds OEM performance requirements.
