Continental launches belt replacement kits for Peugeot, Citroen, Opel

Continental has introduced two new PRO kits for belt replacement in Peugeot, Citroen and Opel models, covering a wide range of models from the former PSA Group.

The PureTech engine from the PSA Group succeeded in combining the power of a 1.6-litre engine with the economy of a 1.2-litre unit. It was fitted across practically all of the group’s product range and was named Engine of the Year four times in succession between 2015 and 2018. Consequently, there are a huge number of vehicles with this engine on Europe’s roads – and they’re gradually coming into workshops to have their timing belts replaced.

Continental says its new PRO Kits CT1228K3PRO and CT1228K4PRO now make work easier for workshops. They provide workshop professionals with everything they need to change the timing belt on the PureTech engine: tensioner and idler pulley, various gaskets for timing cover and cylinder head cover, the crankshaft bolt and two bolts for the camshafts. A V-ribbed belt (ELAST belt) for the water pump is also included.

The CT1228K3PRO and CT1228K4PRO kits have been specially designed for the turbocharged engines in this engine series. Thanks to their compromise-free quality, they come with a five-year guarantee for registered workshops.

Meanwhile, Continental says it is already working on kits for the naturally aspirated PureTech engines.
