Detailed Description

Gates 42175 is engineered as an OE-quality engine water pump for 2011-2013 Kia Forte, 2011-2013 Kia Forte Koup, 2012-2013 Kia Forte5, 2011-2013 Kia Sorento, 2011-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe, and 2011-2012 Hyundai Tucson applications listed below. The cast aluminum housing and stamped steel impeller are selected for consistent coolant circulation, while the standard impeller rotation and accessory belt drive match the original service layout on the covered vehicles.

What It Helps Fix

• Coolant circulation problems caused by a worn water pump
