Gates 99-05 Audi A4 / 01-05 VW Passat Timing Belt Kit w/ Water Pump

This Gates timing belt kit comes with the timing belt, tensioners, idler pulleys, and a new water pump. Replacing these components together is crucial for your 1999-2006 Audi A4 or 2001-2005 Volkswagen Passat's engine health, especially since the timing belt drives the water pump on these models. If the belt breaks, it can cause severe internal engine damage.

Gates uses well-built components in this kit, including a timing belt made with heat-resistant EPDM rubber for durability and a water pump designed to meet OE specifications. The kit also includes all the necessary tensioners and idler pulleys, ensuring proper belt tension and alignment. This comprehensive approach helps maintain the precise timing needed for your engine to run smoothly and efficiently, preventing costly repairs down the road.

When you're tackling a timing belt job, it's always best practice to replace the water pump at the same time, as they are often driven by the same belt and share similar service intervals. This kit makes that process straightforward by providing all the key parts in one package.
