Key Features

Detailed Description

Use the Dayco DP066 when servicing the cooling system on a 1995-2002 Kia Sportage with a timing belt-driven pump. This application requires timing belt replacement at the same time as the pump, which makes it a practical choice for scheduled maintenance on the Kia Sportage cooling and engine drive system. The DP066 is identified for the same vehicle coverage across the 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002 model years.

What It Helps Address

• Coolant leakage from a worn water pump
• Overheating caused by reduced coolant circulation
• Noise from a failing pump bearing or impeller wear
• Timing belt service that includes the water pump on a Kia Sportage

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1995-2002 Kia Sportage, N/A. Because this pump is timing belt driven, replace the timing belt during the same service interval. Verify cooling system condition, gasket surfaces, and belt alignment before returning the vehicle to service. Part number DP066 should be matched to the vehicle’s year and engine configuration before installation.
