Detailed Description

Continental PP328LK7 is a timing belt kit with water pump designed for Subaru engines that require coordinated replacement of the belt, pump, seals, and tensioner components. The kit uses a single timing belt with 281 teeth, a 1.18-inch top width, and a 88.50-inch belt length, along with a metal-impeller water pump and timing marks for service alignment. It also includes OEM hyd. tensioner where applicable, plus mechanical tensioner and idler-related components as specified by the application.

This part cross-references Gates TCKWP328C for the same application. Use PP328LK7 when servicing Subaru Impreza, WRX, and Forester models listed in the fitment data, including 2012-2014 Subaru Impreza, 2013-2014 Subaru WRX, and 2011-2013 Subaru Forester timing belt service applications. PP328LK7 is also listed for 2008-2011 Subaru Impreza and 2008-2010 Subaru Forester coverage.

What This Kit Helps Address

• Timing belt wear, cracking, or age-related deterioration
• Water pump leakage or coolant circulation issues
• Tensioner noise, loss of tension, or timing instability
• Seal seepage at camshaft sealing points
• Service intervals that call for a complete timing system refresh

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify engine code and timing system layout before ordering, especially on 2011-2013 Subaru Forester models with FB25 timing chain engines excluded from this application.
• Follow factory timing procedures and align the timing marks during installation.
• Replace related wear components during timing service to reduce repeat labor.
• Confirm interference-engine service requirements on the covered Subaru applications before disassembly.
• Use the vehicle-specific notes for Subaru Impreza, WRX, and Forester fitment to confirm the correct application.

Quality Assurance

Continental Pro Series Plus focuses on OE-quality replacement components for timing system service. PP328LK7 is built with a metal-impeller pump, Viton seals, and application-matched timing components for the listed Subaru Impreza, WRX, and Forester models.
