Product Details

The Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit W/Water Pump, part number TCKWP328SF, is built for timing belt service on Subaru Impreza and Subaru WRX applications listed below. Gates packages the timing belt service components together with the water pump so the major wear items in the timing system can be addressed during the same repair. This approach is especially relevant on interference engines, where timing system condition is critical to engine operation.

This kit cross-references Dayco WPE328K1A for the same application. The Gates TCKWP328SF is a direct-fit service solution for 2008-2012 Subaru Impreza and 2012 Subaru WRX models listed in the fitment data.

Common Repair Reasons

• Timing belt wear, cracking, or age-related deterioration
• Water pump seepage, noise, or service interval replacement
• Worn idlers or tensioner concerns during timing service
• Coolant leaks at the pump or sealing surfaces
• Timing system noise or belt tracking issues

Installation Notes

Follow the included instructions and use the supplied installation tool during service. Verify timing marks before engine start-up, and replace the water pump at the same time as the timing belt on timing-belt-driven systems. Confirm engine code and fitment details for your specific Subaru Impreza or Subaru WRX before installation.

Quality Assurance

Gates lists this kit as OE Performance and includes the major timing system components needed for a complete repair. The matched component set is intended to reduce repeat teardown by addressing the belt, tensioning hardware, idlers, and water pump together.
