Product Details

Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit W/Water Pump is engineered as a complete timing service solution rather than a belt-only replacement. The kit is built around a black timing belt with 150 teeth and a 29 mm width, paired with a hydraulic tensioner, two idlers, and a water pump. Gates also includes the seal ring and instructions to support a full timing system refresh. Part number TCKWP246B is a practical choice when servicing timing belt driven water pumps, since the pump and belt are replaced together during the same repair interval.

This part cross-references Dayco WP246K1A and Airtex AWK1311 for the same application.

Common Repair Reasons

• Replacing a worn or noisy timing belt during scheduled maintenance
• Addressing coolant leaks from a timing belt driven water pump
• Correcting tensioner or idler wear in the timing drive system
• Restoring proper engine timing on interference engine applications
• Reducing repeat labor by servicing the belt, tensioner, idlers, and pump together

Installation Notes

Follow the included instruction sheet during installation and verify timing marks before engine startup. Because this kit is used on interference engine applications, accurate camshaft and crankshaft alignment is critical. Replace related seals as needed and inspect the belt path, pulleys, and cooling system surfaces before assembly. Confirm vehicle fitment by year, make, and model before ordering TCKWP246B.

Quality Assurance

Gates positions this PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit W/Water Pump as an OE-performance service part for timing system repair. The kit is assembled to replace the belt-driven components together, helping support a more complete repair on Chrysler Neon, Dodge Neon, Dodge Avenger, Chrysler Sebring, and Mitsubishi Eclipse applications.
