Product Details

The Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit W/Water Pump is built around the service requirements of timing belt driven water pump systems. Gates combines the belt, tensioner, and pump in one repair package so the timing components can be renewed together, which is especially important on interference engine applications. This approach supports a more complete timing service on vehicles including the Dodge Neon, Chrysler Neon, and Dodge Stratus.

Part number TCKWP245A is engineered with a black HSN/fiberglass cord timing belt and a modified curvilinear profile for consistent tooth engagement. The included water pump and seal components support a full front-of-engine timing service, while the OE performance rating reflects the intended replacement standard for these applications. This part cross-references Continental PP245LK1 and Dayco WP245K3A for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Replacing a worn or noisy timing belt on interference engines
• Servicing a leaking or aging water pump during timing belt replacement
• Addressing tensioner wear, noise, or loss of belt control
• Restoring proper camshaft and crankshaft timing after scheduled maintenance
• Reducing repeat labor by renewing timing-related wear components together

Installation Notes

Follow the included instructions and verify engine timing marks before removal and reassembly. Because this kit is used on interference engine applications, correct timing alignment is critical during installation. Inspect related brackets, seals, and mounting surfaces before final assembly, and confirm the vehicle application against the fitment data for the specific year and model.
