Introduced to the Somora product line-up last year, Hutchinson Timing Belt Kits are now playing an increasingly important role in the aftermarket with many suppliers and installers becoming aware of the excellent combination of OE quality and value they offer.

Hutchinson is has been a leader in rubber technology for over 160 years and is a major OE supplier to vehicle makers such as Citroen, Ford, Ferrari, Hyundai, Mercedes, Nissan, Peugeot, Opel, Renault and VAG. The same expert quality is available through the Hutchinson aftermarket range which offer 97% coverage of the European car parc from 430 timing belt kits. The belts are supplied including everything needed for effective replacement such as tensioners, idlers, screws, plugs and installation instructions. This makes the job more convenient and identifying the right parts much easier.

As well as individual kits the Hutchinson range also features 140 kits with water pumps covering all the main market applications. Most garages now prefer to replace the water pump and timing belt together to provide the customer with a best practice repair and greater peace of mind. Hutchinson also offers a range of some 360 replacement water pumps, also in OE quality.

Hutchinson Timing Belt Kits are distributed by Somora and are available from motor factor stockists nationwide. Product details can be found in the main digital catalogues and in the Somora online catalogue, which also includes a vehicle reg look-up facility for easy parts identification.
