Frequently asked questions

What does the ETC8550 timing belt do?
The ETC8550 timing belt is the toothed camshaft drive belt for the 2.5L 200TDi turbo diesel. It synchronises the crankshaft with the camshaft and injection pump, keeping valve and fuel injection timing in step on the Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic 200TDi.
What happens if the timing belt fails?
The 200TDi is an interference engine, so a snapped or jumped timing belt typically lets valves and pistons collide, causing serious engine damage. Renew it at the interval in your vehicle's service schedule, usually together with the idler pulley and tensioner.
Which engine and models does it fit?
This timing belt fits the 200TDi engine in the Defender (1990-1994), Discovery 1 (from VIN LA081991) and Range Rover Classic (1992-1994, from VIN JA610294). It's specific to the 200TDi belt drive, not the later 300TDi, so confirm your engine before ordering.
