Gates Engine Timing Belt P/N:T281

$29.99

Description

The Gates Engine Timing Belt (P/N T281) keeps the camshaft and crankshaft turning in precise sync so the valves open and close in time with the pistons. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-2002 Kia Sportage — see the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact engine for your vehicle.

As a leading global manufacturer of OE timing belts, Gates builds aftermarket belts to meet or exceed OE standards of fit, function and performance, with resistance to heat, wear and contamination.

PTFE-infused jackets: reduce frictional losses and tooth shear.
High-grade HNBR rubber: superior heat and contamination resistance.
Premium tensile members: provide maximum strength.
Aramid-reinforced nylon jackets and backsides: increase durability and belt life.

Gates backs the belt with a warranty that matches the original manufacturer's timing belt replacement intervals — covering parts, labor and other associated costs. If a worn, cracked, or stripped timing belt is behind hard starting or a no-start, this replaces it; always replace it at the recommended interval as part of routine maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Gates timing belt fit my 1995-2002 Kia Sportage?

The Gates T281 is a direct-fit timing belt for the 1995-2002 Kia Sportage. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the correct engine application for your specific vehicle.

What does a timing belt do?

It synchronizes the crankshaft and camshaft so the engine's valves open and close in time with the pistons. A worn or broken belt can cause hard starting or a no-start.

What is the Gates T281 made of?

It uses high-grade HNBR rubber for heat and contamination resistance, PTFE-infused jackets to cut friction and tooth shear, premium tensile members, and aramid-reinforced nylon jackets.

What are signs my timing belt may need replacing?

Signs include a cracked, glazed, or fraying belt, missing teeth, a ticking noise, or hard starting. Replace it at the manufacturer's recommended interval as routine maintenance.

Is the Gates T281 warranty just for the belt?

No. The Gates warranty matches the original manufacturer's timing belt replacement intervals and covers not only the part but also labor and other associated costs.
