No, the kits are numbered chronologically on the basis of when they were introduced. The K2 kit, for example, may contain just one pulley. Refer to the symbol on the packaging for information on what the kit contains and/or check the contents and user advice indicated in the catalog.
Elastic multi V-belts can easily be stretched during installation in order to establish the required belt tension, therefore it is not possible to install normal multi V-belts as an alternative.
Performing a proper belt change usually involves more than a belt alone. Workshops play it safe if they also renew the tension, idler or guide pulleys at the same time as changing the belt. The kits from ContiTech give the workshop a complete package containing a full set of matching parts for performing the installation properly. This guarantees the best possible quality and safety for a technically proficient and effective timing belt change.
The kits contain different contents for different vehicle applications, for example because the vehicle manufacturer has made changes to the belt drive (e.g. automatic instead of manual tension pulleys introduced from a particular model year onwards).

As a rule the change intervals indicated are the manufacturer recommendations. As belts are used to a certain extent in different vehicles and exposed to varying load conditions, ContiTech cannot say anything definite for a specific belt type. In any case, the manufacturer recommendations concerning change intervals for a given vehicle also apply to ContiTech belts.
The BTT Hz is basically intended for tension pulleys that are adjusted manually. Multi V-belt drives can now also be measured. A data manual provided with the gauge gives clear information on the settings ? in the frequency unit Hz ? for all of the most common vehicles.
An application list for specific vehicles can be found in the handbook and is also available here as a download from the Internet.
No, the handbook is only available in conjunction with the belt tension tester.
No, force measurements cannot be converted into frequencies. We therefore recommend buying the BTT Hz so that a modern tension measuring method is assured using the parameter of frequency.
The device is self-calibrating. This can be done by any user with reference to the instructions provided with the product.

Element types B, C/E and the timing belt basket can be combined as required, and attached to the display frame with base. The V-belt/ multi V-belt hanger type A is only suitable for mounting on walls.
