Product Details
Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit W/Water Pump is engineered as a complete timing service package for Subaru engines that use a timing belt driven water pump. The kit combines the belt, hydraulic tensioner, idlers, water pump, and sealing components so the critical wear items are replaced at the same time. For Subaru Legacy, Subaru Forester, and Subaru Impreza service, this approach helps restore proper timing system operation and supports a more complete repair. The Gates TCKWP277A is also cross-referenced to Dayco WP277K3A for the same application.
Common Problems This Kit Addresses
- Timing belt wear, cracking, or tooth damage
- Noise or instability from worn idler pulleys
- Loss of belt tension from a failing hydraulic tensioner
- Coolant leakage from a worn timing belt driven water pump
- Repeat timing service caused by replacing only part of the system
Installation Notes
Use the included instructions and installation tool during service. Replace the timing belt, tensioner, idlers, and water pump together on interference-engine Subaru applications to keep the timing system serviced as a matched assembly. Confirm engine code and vehicle application before installation, and follow the supplied instruction sheet number 0098-1655 for procedure details. The Gates TCKWP277A is intended for 1997-1999 Subaru Legacy, 1998 Subaru Forester, and 1998 Subaru Impreza models listed in the fitment data.
