Gates TCKWP232A Engine Timing Belt Kit with Water Pump

Timing Belt Kit With Water Pump

Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit with Water Pump, part number TCKWP232A, brings together the timing components and cooling service parts needed for a complete timing belt job. It is built for interference-engine applications where timing system maintenance is critical, including Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Stratus, Mitsubishi Eclipse, and Mitsubishi Galant coverage.

The Gates PowerGrip Premium OE timing belt component kit with water pump is built around premium OE-style service parts, including timing belts, pulleys, tensioners, and a water pump. Gates recommends replacing the timing belt-driven water pump at the same time as the belt service to reduce repeat repairs and keep the system serviced as a unit.

Detailed Product Overview

Gates TCKWP232A is a timing belt kit with water pump for vehicles that require coordinated replacement of the belt drive and water pump during scheduled maintenance. The kit uses OE-performance components and includes the critical wear items commonly serviced together on Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Stratus, Mitsubishi Eclipse, and Mitsubishi Galant applications. This approach supports a more complete timing service on engines where belt failure can lead to serious internal engine damage.

This part cross-references Dayco WP232K3A for the same application.

What This Kit Helps Address

• Timing belt wear, cracking, or age-related deterioration
• Noisy or worn tensioner and idler components
• Water pump leakage or bearing wear during timing service
• Repeat teardown caused by replacing only part of the timing system
• Maintenance on interference engines where timing accuracy matters

Installation Notes

Follow the included instruction sheet during installation and verify timing marks, belt routing, and tensioner setup before engine start-up. Because this kit is used on interference-engine applications, correct alignment and torque procedures are essential. Replace the timing belt-driven water pump during the same service interval to keep the system synchronized and reduce the need for duplicate labor.

Quality Assurance

Gates supplies OE-performance timing components for service work that demands accurate fit and dependable operation. TCKWP232A is packaged as a complete timing service solution with the major wear items needed for the job, helping technicians service the belt drive and water pump together on supported Chrysler, Dodge, and Mitsubishi applications.
