Product Line Details

The Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit with Water Pump line is built to consolidate the major wear items in a timing belt service. By combining the belt, tensioning components, idler, and water pump in one repair package, the line supports a more complete timing system refresh on vehicles where the water pump is driven by the timing belt.

Detailed Description

TCKWP259BH is a Gates timing belt component kit with water pump for select 2000-2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 2000-2003 Mitsubishi Galant, 2001-2004 Chrysler Sebring, and 2001-2004 Dodge Stratus applications. The kit uses a black HSN and fiberglass cord belt with a modified curvilinear profile, plus OE-style tensioning components and sealing parts for a service that addresses the full timing drive system. Gates identifies this kit as an OE Exact replacement solution for interference engines, where timing accuracy is critical. This part cross-references Continental TB259LK1 and Dayco WP259K2B for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Timing belt wear, cracking, or age-related deterioration
• Noise from worn idler or tensioner components
• Water pump leakage or seepage at the timing cover area
• Loss of timing system tension on interference-engine vehicles
• Service intervals that call for timing belt and water pump replacement together

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the timing belt, tensioners, idler, and water pump together during service to reduce repeat labor on the timing drive. Follow the included instructions and verify camshaft and crankshaft timing marks before engine start-up. Because this application is used on interference engines, correct timing alignment is essential during installation. Confirm vehicle year, make, and model before ordering TCKWP259BH.

Quality Assurance

Gates supplies this kit as an OE Exact timing service solution with matched components for the listed applications. The included water pump, gasket, and sealing components support a complete timing system repair on compatible Chrysler, Dodge, and Mitsubishi vehicles.
