    In the majority of V6 engines of the Volkswagen group and some 4 cylinder engines of Vauxhall/Opel, the thermostat sits behind the timing belt drive system. It is best practice to include the replacement of these difficult-to-reach thermostats in the timing belt drive overhaul. Gates PowerGrip™ kits with application-specific thermostat and water pump help installers to avoid costly comebacks and unsatisfied customers.

    • Vehicle-specific components added as required, including instructions, bolts, tools, technical service bulletins, tensioner springs, gaskets and more.
    • Designed for convenience, easy parts sourcing, and reduced customer comebacks.
    • Total solution for any application.
