Product Details

The Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit W/Water Pump is engineered for Subaru engines that rely on a timing belt-driven water pump. Replacing the belt, tensioner, idlers, and water pump together helps restore proper timing system operation and reduces the need to reopen the front of the engine shortly after service. Part number TCKWP304AN is listed for 2006-2007 Subaru Forester, 2006-2007 Subaru Impreza, 2006-2007 Subaru Outback, 2008-2011 Subaru Impreza, 2008-2011 Subaru Outback, and 2009-2010 Subaru Forester.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Timing belt wear, cracking, or tooth damage
• Noise or rough operation from worn idlers or tensioner
• Coolant leaks from a failing water pump
• Timing service repeat repairs caused by replacing only part of the system
• Engine timing concerns on Subaru interference applications

Installation Notes

Follow the included instructions and use the supplied installation tool during service. Because this kit is intended for timing belt-driven water pump applications, replace the belt and water pump at the same time during scheduled maintenance. Verify engine code and VIN details before ordering, especially on Subaru Outback and Forester applications with configuration-specific notes.

Quality Assurance

Gates supplies OE-focused timing components for service work that demands accurate fit and consistent operation. The PowerGrip Premium OE line is built around matched timing system parts so the belt, tensioner, idlers, and water pump can be serviced together on the same repair.
