• Overheating caused by reduced coolant circulation
• Timing belt service replacement on 1995-1998 Acura TL models
• Cooling system maintenance on interference engine applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1995-1998 Acura TL, timing belt driven. Because this is an interference engine application, timing belt service should be handled carefully and timing marks verified during installation. Replace the pump only after the cooling system is drained and the mounting surfaces are clean. Confirm pulley alignment and use the included rubber seal ring during assembly.
