Product Line Details

The Gates PowerGrip Premium OE line focuses on timing system service parts built to match the original repair approach. For applications where the water pump is driven by the timing belt, replacing the belt, tensioner, and pump together helps complete the service in one repair cycle. Gates TCKWP249A is built for that type of maintenance on the Nissan Quest and Mercury Villager.

Detailed Description

Gates TCKWP249A is an engine timing belt kit with water pump for 1999-2002 Mercury Villager and 1999-2002 Nissan Quest models. It is built around a single timing belt with 133 teeth and a 25 mm width, plus a spring-type tensioner and a water pump with gasket. The belt uses HSN and fiberglass cord materials for timing system service, and the included timing marks help during alignment. This part cross-references Continental PP249LK2 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Timing belt wear, cracking, or age-related deterioration
• Water pump leakage or pump bearing noise
• Tensioner wear that can affect belt tracking and tension
• Cooling system service tied to timing belt replacement intervals
• Interference-engine maintenance on Nissan Quest applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the timing belt-driven water pump at the same time as the belt service. Follow the included instructions and verify camshaft and crankshaft timing marks before starting the engine. Because this kit is used on interference-engine Nissan Quest applications, correct timing alignment is critical during installation. Gates TCKWP249A is intended for direct timing system service on the listed Mercury Villager and Nissan Quest fitments.

Quality Assurance

Gates supplies this kit as an OE-performance timing system service solution with matched components for the repair. The included belt, tensioner, water pump, and gasket are packaged to support a complete timing belt service on the specified vehicles.
