Product Details

Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit with Water Pump, part number TCKWP254A, is engineered as a complete timing service solution for 1997-1998 Subaru Impreza and 1997-1998 Subaru Legacy.

This kit includes an OE exact hydraulic tensioner, three idlers, a water pump, a metal gasket, an O-ring, Loctite, and an installation tool. The belt uses HSN and fiberglass cord construction with timing marks to support accurate alignment during service. TCKWP254A is a direct-fit timing belt kit choice for Subaru Impreza and Subaru Legacy timing system maintenance.

Common Repair Uses

  • Replacing a worn or noisy timing belt
  • Servicing a leaking or aging water pump
  • Addressing timing system noise from idlers or tensioner wear
  • Restoring proper belt tracking and timing alignment
  • Completing a full timing service on Subaru Impreza or Subaru Legacy engines

Installation Notes

Follow the included instruction sheet number 0098-1682 during installation. Verify camshaft and crankshaft timing marks before belt tension is set, and replace the water pump at the same time as the timing belt when the pump is driven by the belt. Use the included installation tool and supplied sealing components during assembly. Confirm vehicle application by year and model before installation.
