Our conversion kits are designed to address known limitations of wet timing belt systems by replacing them with a mechanically robust, chain-driven configuration. The result is a long-term solution focused on durability, reliability and consistent engine timing performance. Pro Chain products are developed with the complete powertrain system in mind, providing a technically sound upgrade path for engines where timing system reliability is critical. Why Chain Conversion? Reliable and Long-LastingReplacing the original wet timing belt with a chain makes the engine more reliable. Timing belts in some engines wear faster than expected, requiring frequent replacements, often at intervals shorter than the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule. Installing a chain reduces maintenance needs and ensures consistent, long-term engine performance. ---------- Cost Savings and ProtectionA chain conversion helps prevent expensive engine damage caused by belt failure. Broken belts or missing teeth can lead to valve damage or even complete engine failure, which is often far more costly than installing a chain in the first place. By switching to a chain-driven system, you save on repeated belt replacements and avoid unexpected engine repairs. ---------- Environmental BenefitsUsing a single, durable timing chain instead of repeatedly replacing belts is better for the environment. Fewer replacement parts, less waste, and less frequent service mean a smaller ecological footprint over the vehicle’s lifetime. ---------- Restoring Vehicle ValueBecause issues with wet timing belts have become widely known, affected cars often lose significant resale value. This can make it difficult for owners to sell or trade in their vehicles. A timing chain conversion helps restore reliability and confidence, potentially improving the vehicle’s market value. ---------- A Smart Choice for Garages and WorkshopsSome workshops may see wet timing belts as a recurring revenue source, since each vehicle requires repeated belt replacements and possible engine repairs. However, this approach is short-sighted: repeated belt issues can make vehicles economically unviable over time. A chain conversion ensures the car lasts longer and maintains value, which also benefits garages in the long term through ongoing maintenance, brake and tire services, inspections, and other routine work—even if the timing belt no longer needs constant attention. https://www.pro-chain.com/c-7457391/puretech-chain-kits/ https://www.pro-chain.com/c-7457391/puretech-chain-kits/ Complete Conversion KitsAll Pro Chain timing chain conversion kits are supplied as complete sets, including all components needed to convert an engine from a belt-driven to a chain-driven system. Selecting the Correct Conversion KitWithin the PureTech engine family, there are several technical differences between engine variants. One of the main distinctions is whether the engine is naturally aspirated or turbocharged. Because turbocharged engines differ mechanically from non-turbo versions, Pro Chain offers separate timing chain conversion kits for each configuration. Each kit is specifically engineered to match the mechanical characteristics of the respective engine type. https://www.pro-chain.com/c-7732727/tools/ https://www.pro-chain.com/c-7732727/tools/ https://www.pro-chain.com/c-7732732/parts/ https://www.pro-chain.com/c-7732732/parts/ https://www.pro-chain.com/c-7457403/contact-us/ https://www.pro-chain.com/c-7457403/contact-us/ Customer AccountsPro Chain supplies timing chain conversion kits through controlled distribution.

A wet timing belt is a type of timing belt that runs in the engine oil. This design is prone to wear and rubber degradation. The belt can disintegrate, causing small particles to enter the oil system. This can lead to blockages in the oil pump and other vital engine parts, potentially resulting in serious engine damage. Why should I replace the wet belt with a chain? Replacing the wet belt with a chain is a preventative measure to avoid expensive and serious engine damage. The belt can fail without warning, which can lead to a full engine overhaul or even a replacement. How long does the timing chain last? A timing chain is designed to last for the entire lifespan of the engine, provided the engine is properly maintained. Therefore, you do not need to replace the chain periodically like a belt. Can I install the kit myself? Installation is a specialist job. To maintain the warranty on our products, installation by a certified mechanic is required. This ensures correct execution and prevents potential engine damage due to improper assembly. Which engines are these conversion kits suitable for? Our kits are specifically designed for the 1.0 and 1.2 VTi and 1.2 PureTech or THP engines. Always check the product page for the specific car models and years. Does this conversion restore the value of my car? The reputation of the PureTech engine has declined due to the problems with the wet belt. By converting to a reliable timing chain, the biggest risk is eliminated. Our kits are supplied with a unique certificate that proves the conversion has been performed. This increases the car's appeal and partially restores its value, as potential buyers know the problem has been solved.
