1K9971616 Audi GUIDE

This kit basically replaces everything needed to keep your engine’s valve timing right. The main part is the timing belt itself, which is a reinforced rubber belt. But a kit also includes things like the tensioner – that keeps the right amount of pressure on the belt – and idler pulleys which guide it. Often it’ll have a water pump included too, since accessing it is easiest when you’re already in there doing the belt. Think of your engine as having a really precise dance going on between the pistons and the valves. The timing belt is what keeps everyone moving in sync. It connects the crankshaft – that's what the engine's power comes from – to the camshaft, which controls when the valves open and close. If that connection is off, even by a little, things can get seriously messed up. Well, the timing belt doesn’t last forever. Over time, the rubber wears out, cracks, and can eventually break. If it breaks, that precise dance I mentioned stops. Pistons can slam into valves, causing major engine damage. It's a really critical component. You’ll notice if it's getting close to failing with things like a ticking noise, rough idling, or even trouble starting. Ignoring it is a gamble you don't want to take. Many people replace it as preventative maintenance at a certain mileage, usually around 60,000 to 100,000 miles, just to be safe. We’ve got a good selection of kits at Fixparts Online if you want to take a look, and they usually include everything you need for the job. It’s a bit of a job, so if you aren’t comfortable tackling it yourself, find a trusted mechanic. Get more for your money: Timing Belt Kit (MPN 1K9971616) is covered for 12 months!
