T4,G3 Timing Belt Kit - 2.0

This timing belt kit includes the timing belt and tensioner and is designed for Volkswagen 2.0 petrol engines including engine codes AAC, 2E, ADY, AGG, AKR and AEP. These engines are used across T4 Transporter, Golf Mk3, Golf Mk3 Cabrio, Corrado and Vento models.

The timing belt synchronises the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring the engine valves open and close at the correct time in relation to piston movement. The tensioner keeps the belt at the correct tension to prevent belt slip or vibration. Over time, timing belts wear, stretch and crack, and tensioners can weaken or seize. If the belt or tensioner fails, it can result in serious engine damage. Replacing the timing belt and tensioner together as a kit is the safest and most reliable way to maintain the engine.

This kit is ideal for scheduled maintenance or engine rebuild work and helps ensure reliable engine timing and long service life.

What This Part Does / How It Works

The timing belt connects the crankshaft to the camshaft so the valves open and close in time with the pistons. The tensioner maintains the correct belt tension to keep the timing accurate and prevent belt slip.

Other Parts That May Be Required

• Water pump
• Thermostat
• Auxiliary belts
• Crankshaft oil seal
• Camshaft oil seal
• Coolant if water pump is replaced
• Timing belt cover bolts if damaged
