Contitech Timing Belt Kit CT940 K2

The Contitech Timing Belt Kit CT940 K2 is a high‑performance component designed for the precise operation of modern internal combustion engines. It replaces the original timing belt and associated pulleys, ensuring optimal engine timing, improved fuel efficiency, and reduced wear on critical components.

Key Features

• Durable Construction: Made from reinforced rubber with a high‑strength steel braid, the kit resists stretching and maintains tension over long service intervals.
• Exact Tooth Count: The belt features 153 teeth, matching the engine’s camshaft and crankshaft requirements for perfect synchronization.
• Comprehensive Pulley Set: Includes all necessary pulleys (crankshaft, camshaft, accessory) with precision‑machined surfaces to guarantee smooth operation.
• OEM Quality Standards: Manufactured under strict quality control processes to meet or exceed original equipment specifications.
• Easy Installation: Designed for straightforward replacement; all components fit directly into the engine bay without modification.

Engine Compatibility

The kit is engineered for a range of engines that use the CT940 K2 timing system. Common applications include:

• Renault models such as the Scénic, Megane, and Laguna.
• Volvo vehicles including the S40 and V40.
• Other European cars that employ a 153‑tooth timing belt architecture.

Engineers recommend verifying the exact engine code before installation to ensure full compatibility.

Installation Overview

1. Preparation: Disconnect the battery, remove the engine cover, and clear any obstructions around the timing belt area.
2. Remove Old Belt: Release tension using the built‑in tensioner or a dedicated tool, then carefully slide the old belt off all pulleys.
3. Install New Pulley Set: Mount each new pulley onto its corresponding shaft, ensuring proper alignment and torque specifications.
4. Lay the New Belt: Route the belt around the crankshaft, camshaft, and accessory pulleys following the manufacturer’s diagram.
5. Tension Adjustment: Use the tensioner to set the correct belt tension; verify with a feeler gauge or digital sensor if available.
6. Final Checks: Re‑engage all fasteners, reconnect the battery, and perform a manual crank test to confirm smooth operation.

Benefits of Upgrading

• Improved Engine Timing Accuracy – reduces misfires and enhances performance.
• Extended Component Life – protects valves, camshafts, and pistons from premature wear.
• Enhanced Fuel Economy – precise timing leads to better combustion efficiency.
• Reduced Maintenance Costs – fewer replacements of worn belts or damaged components.

Maintenance Tips

Although the CT940 K2 kit is built for longevity, regular inspections are advisable:

• Check belt tension every 30,000–50,000 miles (or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer).
• Inspect pulleys for wear or misalignment during each inspection.
• Replace the belt if you notice any cracks, fraying, or unusual noises.
