Product Details

This Gates timing belt kit is built around a black HSN and fiberglass cord belt with 281 teeth and a 29 mm width. The kit is organized as a full timing system service package, pairing the belt with a hydraulic tensioner, four idlers, and a water pump so the major wear items are addressed together during maintenance. Gates positions the PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit with Water Pump line as a complete repair solution for timing belt driven water pump service, which is especially relevant on interference engine applications.

This part cross-references Continental PP328LK5 for the same application. The Gates TCKWP328B is also referenced by aftermarket numbers including GTKWP328B and WPK43513A.

Common Problems This Kit Helps Address

• Timing belt wear, cracking, or tooth damage
• Hydraulic tensioner noise or loss of belt tension
• Idler pulley bearing wear or rough rotation
• Water pump leakage or cooling system service needs during timing maintenance
• Seal and gasket replacement during front engine service

Installation Notes

Replace the timing belt, water pump, tensioner, and idlers together when servicing the timing drive. Follow the included instructions and use the supplied installation tool and Loctite as directed. Verify engine code and build date before installation, especially on 2003 Subaru Impreza interference engine applications built Sept. 1, 2002 and newer.

Quality Assurance

Gates supplies this kit as an OE-performance timing service package with the same core components used in a complete timing belt repair. The included water pump, tensioner, idlers, seals, and belt are intended to support a thorough service on select Subaru Impreza models.
