Contitech CT1101 K1 Timing Belt Kit

The Contitech CT1101 K1 Timing Belt Kit is a comprehensive, OEM‑grade replacement set designed specifically for the 1.4 L, 16‑valve engines found in a range of Citroën and Peugeot models from the mid‑2000s to early 2010s. This kit delivers reliable performance, precise timing, and long‑term durability.

Key Features

• Exact OEM Specification: The kit matches Continental’s original design, ensuring perfect fitment on engines such as the Citroën C2/C3/C4, Peugeot 206/207/307/1007, and related models.
• Complete Set: Includes a high‑strength timing belt with 135 teeth, a tensioner pulley, an idler pulley, and all necessary mounting hardware. No additional parts are required for a full replacement.
• High‑Quality Materials: The belt is made from reinforced rubber with a durable steel braid that resists wear, heat, and oil contamination. Pulley components feature hardened steel bearings for smooth operation.
• Easy Installation: Designed for straightforward removal of the old belt and installation of the new set without special tools beyond standard automotive equipment.
• Long Service Life: Engineered to last at least 60,000 km (or 5 years) under normal driving conditions, providing peace of mind and reducing maintenance costs.

Compatibility Overview

The kit is engineered for the following engine families:

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the battery and allow the engine to cool. Remove any components obstructing access to the timing belt cover (e.g., air intake, drive belts).
2. Remove Old Belt: Loosen the tensioner pulley using a suitable socket or wrench. Slide the old belt off the camshaft and crankshaft pulleys.
3. Install New Pulley Set: Mount the new idler pulley onto its bracket, then install the tensioner pulley with the supplied mounting hardware. Ensure all bolts are tightened to manufacturer torque specifications.
4. Place Timing Belt: Route the new belt around the camshaft and crankshaft pulleys according to the engine’s timing diagram. Align the teeth on both sides of the belt with the gear teeth on each pulley.
5. Tighten Tensioner: Adjust the tensioner to achieve the correct belt tension (typically 0.5–1 kg). Verify that the belt sits flush against all pulleys without slack.
6. Re‑check Alignment: Rotate the engine by hand through at least two full revolutions, ensuring no interference and that the timing marks remain aligned.
7. Final Steps: Reinstall any removed components, reconnect the battery, and start the engine. Listen for smooth operation; a properly installed belt will produce minimal noise.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the belt for signs of wear (cracking, fraying) during routine service intervals.
• Check tensioner and idler pulley bearings for smooth rotation; replace if sluggish or noisy.
• Avoid over‑tightening bolts to prevent damage to the pulley housings.
• Keep the engine bay clean from oil spills that could degrade belt material.
