Why should I change oil seals, timing belt and tensioner at the same time ?
Worn-out seals: grease escapes from roller bearings and contaminates belt. Bearings on which tensioners/idlers are built are not visible, but may be at the end of their lifetime. As belt manufacturer, we recommend change of all components at the same time to avoid any premature belt failure due to the malfunction of other related components. The better solution is the alternative of using the Gates Original PowerGrip® timing belt component kit.
