Product Details

Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit W/Water Pump TCKWP304N is a complete engine timing service solution for Subaru applications listed below. The kit includes the timing belt, hydraulic tensioner, idler pulleys, and water pump so the major wear components in the timing drive can be replaced at the same time. This helps maintain proper cam timing, belt tracking, and cooling system service intervals on Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza, and Subaru Outback models.

This part cross-references 24536KN for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Timing belt wear, cracking, or tooth damage
• Noise from worn idler pulleys or tensioner components
• Coolant leaks from a timing belt driven water pump
• Incorrect belt tension or timing alignment concerns
• Repeat repairs caused by replacing only part of the timing system

Installation Notes

Use the included instructions and installation tool during service. Replace the water pump at the same time as the timing belt on timing belt driven systems, and verify belt timing marks, tensioner setup, gasket sealing surfaces, and coolant system condition before reassembly. This kit is intended for interference engine applications listed in the fitment data, including Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza, and Subaru Outback timing belt service.
