No, this specific kit includes the Febi Timing Belt (14378) and a Febi Tensioner Pulley (06688). A water pump is typically sold separately, but it is often recommended to replace it when servicing the timing belt.
The replacement interval depends on your specific vehicle model and driving conditions. Always refer to your vehicle manufacturer's service manual for the recommended mileage and time intervals for timing belt replacement.
While possible for experienced DIY mechanics, timing belt replacement is a complex procedure. It requires specialized tools and precise adherence to service information. We strongly recommend professional installation by a qualified mechanic to prevent engine damage.
The timing belt has a width of 18 mm and features 124 teeth. The part number for the belt itself is 14378.
The included tensioner pulley has the part number 06688.
If a timing belt breaks or slips, the synchronization between the engine's crankshaft and camshaft is lost. This can lead to pistons colliding with valves, causing severe and expensive internal engine damage, potentially requiring a full engine rebuild or replacement.
Verify that the timing marks on the belt and pulleys are perfectly aligned. Double-check that all tensioners and guides are correctly installed and tightened according to service manual specifications. Ensure no air is trapped if a tensioner is hydraulic.
This could indicate a problem with the tensioner pulley bearing or improper belt tension. Re-check tensioner installation and ensure the belt is not too tight or too loose. Inspect the tensioner pulley for free rotation without roughness.
Ensure the correct belt specifications were used and that no other components (like oil seals or pulleys) are leaking fluids onto the belt. Check for any foreign objects or debris that may have entered the timing cover.
Compatibility: Before purchasing, it is crucial to use the provided make and model tool to confirm that the febi bilstein Timing Belt Kit 14618 is compatible with your specific VW or SEAT vehicle. If you are uncertain, please contact customer support for assistance.
Installation: This kit is intended for installation by a competent individual or professional mechanic. Due to the critical nature of the timing belt system, it is imperative to observe all relevant service information and torque specifications for your vehicle. Improper installation can lead to severe engine damage.
Care: Timing belt kits are not user-serviceable parts in terms of regular cleaning or maintenance. Their lifespan is determined by mileage and time. It is essential to adhere to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended replacement intervals for the timing belt and associated components. Regular visual inspection for cracks or wear is not a substitute for scheduled replacement.
