What It Does & How It Helps
On a belt-driven diesel like the VW/Audi TDI, the timing belt synchronizes the crankshaft and camshaft. It is an interference engine, so if the belt breaks the pistons strike the valves and destroy the engine — which makes replacing the belt, tensioner and idlers at the service interval mandatory, not optional. A complete timing kit, with the water pump where the kit includes it, restores fresh, correctly-tensioned timing components and protects the engine from catastrophic failure.
What's Included
- a timing belt, tensioner and idler(s) as specified
- a water pump and seals where the kit includes them
