Gates Racing Timing Belt for VAG 1.8T 20V – Maximum Performance, Proven Reliability

The Gates Racing timing belt is engineered for high-performance 1.8T 20V engines across the VW and Audi lineup. It’s not just visually striking in its signature blue color – it's designed for the extreme loads and demands of motorsport, turbo upgrades, and advanced tuning applications.

Its Kevlar-reinforced core delivers superior tensile strength, ensuring stability and durability at high RPM and under sudden load changes. Aramid teeth provide consistent and accurate power transfer between camshaft and crankshaft – even under aggressive timing modifications or with aftermarket adjustable cam gears.

The belt’s outer layer is coated in a nylon fiber surface, which reduces friction, ensures smooth operation, and increases lifespan – even under high thermal stress. It's heat-resistant, chemical-resistant, and significantly more durable than standard belts.
