The vehicle repair market is constantly evolving. Today, garages face numerous challenges, such as the wide variety of vehicles that come in for repair. The diversity of vehicle models, even within the same brand, increases the risk of ordering the wrong parts or making assembly mistakes. Aware of these challenges, Dayco offers its products in kits for the most popular applications, ensuring that all the necessary parts and accessories required to perform a complete job are included.

As a global leader in the research, design, manufacturing, and distribution of essential engine products, drive systems, and services for the automotive industry, Dayco understands the needs of the aftermarket. Part mismatch or availability issues can delay repairs, resulting in measurable losses for the garage. Incorrectly matched or poor-quality parts can also pose serious risks, as they may contribute to premature vehicle failure, ultimately damaging the workshop’s reputation. To avoid delays and make the mechanic’s job easier and more efficient, Dayco has developed high-quality kits containing all the necessary products to carry out complete maintenance on the timing system and auxiliary belts.

Let’s take a closer look at the Dayco kits available on the market to see exactly what they contain and what benefits they bring to mechanics and end users.

Timing Belt Kits

Timing belt system maintenance must meet high-quality standards. To ensure repairs are performed correctly, it is increasingly necessary to replace entire systems, rather than just individual components. This is the only way a mechanic can guarantee maximum reliability of the repair.

Dayco’s wide range of timing belt kits answers the needs of a constantly evolving market. The range is divided into:

• KTB – Timing Kit
• KTBWP – Timing Kits complete with water pump

Inside the Dayco KTBWP kit, you will find: a water pump and its seal, idlers, an automatic tensioner, bolts, and a timing belt – in other words, all the essential components needed to perform a complete repair. In addition to the kits mentioned above, Dayco is the OE supplier of Timing Belt in Oil Kits.

The entire range guarantees a complete repair solution and perfect technical compatibility of the components, ensuring top quality.

Poly-V / Serpentine Belt Kits

If an accessory belt fails, the consequences are generally less severe than a timing belt failure. However, in most cases, an accessory belt failure will result in inconvenient immobilization of the vehicle and, in some cases, may even cause damage to the neighboring timing belt system.

Furthermore, the increasing number of accessories (air conditioning, power steering pumps, alternators, water pumps, vacuum pumps, etc.) and operating conditions that reach temperatures of up to 130°C have placed greater demands on the accessory belt. It has become essential to improve the materials and construction technology of the system to withstand these stresses. All of this means the accessory belt must be comprehensively maintained with high-quality parts to ensure proper functioning.

Dayco Poly-V Belt Kits provide a complete solution by including all the necessary replacement wear parts. Depending on the vehicle model, kits could contain components such as: the accessory

belt, tensioner pulley, damper pulley, accessory pulley, alternator pulley, water pump with seal (if driven by the accessory belt), and other essential parts.

Timing Chain Kits

Dayco’s long-standing tradition in toothed belt power transmission systems, combined with its in-depth understanding of functional requirements and know-how in quality, testing, and reliability, is also successfully applied to chain kits.

The chain kits are designed with a “system” logic to ensure all elements of the kit (chain, hydraulic tensioner, sprockets, guides) are included. It is also crucial that all elements meet the technical requirements of each component. This guarantees maximum functionality, quiet operation, and longer transmission life.
