Engine and Timing Parts for German Cars in Cheshire

This range covers the parts that keep a German engine in time and sealed. It takes in timing belt kits with tensioners and idlers, timing chain kits with guides, water pumps, head and sump gaskets, crank and cam oil seals, engine mounts and auxiliary drive belts. We supply the range for Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen cars, and for the Transporter, Caddy, Sprinter and Vito.

Timing parts are specific to engine code, and one model name can cover several engines over its life. A Volkswagen Golf or Audi A4 badged 2.0 TDI, for example, has used more than one engine family, each with its own kit. Checking the registration against the engine code and build data before anything is picked stops a job being stripped down only for the kit to be wrong, which is the costliest mistake in this area.

The makes differ in how they drive the cams. Volkswagen Group TDI diesels generally use a timing belt, and the water pump is often driven by the same belt, so garages usually change both together. BMW diesels use a timing chain, and a rattle from the chain or its guides is a common reason for the work. Mercedes-Benz diesels are also largely chain driven, and the Sprinter and Vito see chain, tensioner and engine mount work at higher mileages. Leaking cam and crank seals are a regular job across all four makes.

Getting a price takes one message. Send the reg and the part by phone, WhatsApp or the price-request form, and tell us if you want the water pump or seals with the kit. We come back with price and availability, then you collect from Unit 11 Monks Heath Hall Workshops on Chelford Road or ask about delivery. Regular customers can open a trade account through the online application.

The counter serves engine specialists and general garages in Macclesfield, Congleton, Knutsford and Wilmslow, sitting on the junction of the A34 and A537. Booking a belt or chain job for later in the week is easier when the parts are priced and confirmed before the car arrives.
