Continental PP259LK1 Engine Timing Belt Kit with Water Pump

Continental Pro Series Plus Timing Kit

Continental Pro Series Plus PP259LK1 is an engine timing belt kit with water pump for select Chrysler, Dodge, and Mitsubishi applications. It combines OEM-quality timing components, seals, a metal-impeller water pump, idlers, and tensioning components for interference-engine service.

Built for vehicles such as the Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Stratus, and Mitsubishi Eclipse, this kit is organized for timing belt service on engines that require coordinated replacement of the belt, pump, and related wear parts. Part number PP259LK1 is also referenced in timing service catalogs for the same application.

Product Details

Continental’s Pro Series Plus line focuses on timing service components built to OE-quality standards, with the parts needed to address common wear points in one service interval. PP259LK1 includes a timing belt with 187 teeth, a 1.26-inch top width, and a 58.90-inch length, along with an idler pulley, tensioner, water pump, and polyacrylate seals. The water pump uses a metal impeller, and the kit includes camshaft seals where specified by application.

This part cross-references Dayco WP259K2BS for the same application. It is listed for 1995-2005 Chrysler Sebring, 1995-2000 Dodge Stratus, and 2002-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse, along with additional Mitsubishi and Chrysler applications in the same service family.

Common Problems This Kit Addresses

• Worn or stretched timing belt causing engine timing concerns
• Noisy or failing idler pulley or tensioner assembly
• Coolant leaks from an aging water pump
• Oil seepage at timing-related seals
• Service interval replacement on interference engines

Installation Notes

Verify engine code, timing configuration, and vehicle-specific notes before installation. This kit does not use timing marks, so accurate camshaft and crankshaft alignment procedures are required during service. Replace related components only after confirming the application matches the vehicle, such as Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Stratus, or Mitsubishi Eclipse timing belt service requirements.

Because this is an interference-engine application, correct timing setup is critical before starting the engine. Follow factory service procedures for belt routing, tensioner setup, and coolant refill after water pump replacement.

Quality Assurance

Continental Pro Series Plus timing components are built as an OE-quality service solution for timing belt and water pump replacement. The kit is packaged to support complete timing service on listed applications, including the belt, pump, tensioning components, and seals specified by the manufacturer.
