Product Details

The Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit W/Water Pump is built for timing belt service on the Toyota Camry, Toyota Avalon, Toyota Sienna, Toyota Solara, Lexus ES300, and Lexus RX300 applications listed above. Gates packages the belt, tensioning components, idler, and water pump together so the timing system can be serviced at the same time, which is important when the water pump is driven by the timing belt.

Common Repair Reasons
