Professional mechanics working in the garage know all about it: when the timing belt has completed 120,000 km for example and reached its wear limit, the tension and idler rollers will also have been exposed to the same loads. So when it comes to the belt drive components, it is advisable to replace all the parts in the system when the time comes.
The solution to rule out collateral damage right from the start: the RUVILLE timing belt kit.
If you save on the timing gear, you're saving in the wrong place. Wear here affects not only the timing belt, tension rollers and idler rollers, but also the water pump if this has been integrated. A new timing belt with higher tension puts a greater load on the water pump, with failure a foregone conclusion after only a few thousand kilometres.
The efficient solution: RUVILLE's water pump kit for more than 150 vehicle models; also with thermostat for the corresponding VW, Audi, Škoda and Opel types.
All parts necessary for professional repair of the timing gear are contained in one single kit: tension, idler and guide rollers, timing belt and water pump (including the paper seal or O-ring, also including the thermostat where applicable).
Be careful when repairing the auxiliary drive: here the whole system is affected by wear. This system is exposed to power peaks of up to 1300 N and needs to be checked thoroughly. In modern vehicles, up to four units are driven by a v-ribbed belt. This load population of several units, with alternator, air-conditioning compressor, water pump and hydraulic steering assist, places great demands on the tension units. The damping function in particular is put to the test on a daily basis.
The safe solution: the RUVILLE tension roller kit for the auxiliary drive.
All wear parts needed to change the system are all together in just one practical pack.
The kit for special cases: today's engines often group together all vibration damping elements in one system. These have to meet special demands on a daily basis. If one of the major components shows signs of wear (overrunning alternator pulley, crankshaft damper or tension unit), all other components will also be affected with correspondingly earlier failure.
The ideal solution: RUVILLE's auxiliary drive kit.
Together with the v-ribbed belt, tension unit and idler rollers already contained in the auxiliary drive tension roller kit, this also contains the overrunning alternator pulley and crankshaft damper.
Our know-how as engine component specialists is repeatedly verified when it comes to camshafts: cam followers, rocker arms and hydraulic valve clearance adjustment components for many different applications, in diesel or petrol engines, cars or vans. Our components are 100% coordinated with each other and fulfil the high expectations made of volumetric efficiency, exhaust behaviour, power development and efficiency. When repairs are needed in this part of the engine, it is advisable to take the professional approach and replace all components. Our long-standing experience and the constant realignment of our programme offers a wide range of top quality spare parts.
The sustainable solution: RUVILLE's camshaft kit.

Engine construction is showing an increasing trend towards chain drive engines. Our programme naturally keeps pace with this development. Here too we offer first-rate kits in original spare part quality. After all, repair work here entails not only replacing the lengthened timing chain if it has already worked its way into the guides or timing chain sprockets. In this case, the chain tensioner as highly integrated unit with internal locking system also comes up against its limits. In the worst case, this can cause engine failure.
The professional solution: RUVILLE's chain drive components kit.

Loud running noises in the chassis tell you that a wheel bearing is defective. If you count on reliable original spare part quality, you'll reach for RUVILLE's wheel bearing kit, available for all generations of wheel bearings. To score even better in terms of customer satisfaction, you'll use the double pack to replace the wheel bearings for each complete axle, as the wheel bearing on the other side will have been exposed to the same loads so that you can presume a similar degree of wear.
One problem, two solutions: RUVILLE's wheel bearing kit, or RUVILLE's wheel bearing kit double pack.
All necessary parts together in just one pack.
The professional mechanic also takes a good look at the chassis, where an intact system guarantees safe, good vehicle roadholding. Particular attention should be paid to quality here. RUVILLE strut bearing kits and protection kits put both garage and driver on the safe side. A defective strut bearing for example demands greater steering forces, which will scarcely be noticed in vehicles with hydraulic steering assist. Consequently, all other chassis components are subject to even greater load with faster wear. The same goes for the protection kit: if this is not replaced when changing the shock absorbers, dirt will penetrate the shock absorber through the seal ring and destroy the new part.
The proactive solution: RUVILLE strut bearing kits and RUVILLE protection kits.
