Product Line Details

The Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit with Water Pump line is designed to simplify timing service by grouping the critical wear components together. Gates positions this line for repairs where the belt-driven water pump should be replaced during the same service interval as the timing belt, helping reduce repeat teardown on Acura and Honda V6 applications.

Detailed Description

Part number TCKWP329A is a timing belt kit with water pump engineered for select 2014-2025 Acura MDX, RLX, and TLX models and 2016-2025 Honda Odyssey, Passport, Pilot, and Ridgeline applications. It is built around a black timing belt with HSN and fiberglass cord construction, a modified curvilinear tooth design, hydraulic tensioners, an idler pulley, and a water pump. This makes it a practical choice for timing service on interference engines where maintaining correct belt tracking and coolant system integrity is critical.

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

What It Helps Address

• Timing belt wear, cracking, or age-related deterioration
• Noisy or weak hydraulic tensioner operation
• Idler pulley wear that can affect belt routing
• Water pump leakage or service interval replacement
• Timing system service on interference-engine Acura and Honda vehicles

Installation Notes

Follow the included instructions and verify engine timing marks before removal and reassembly. Replace the timing belt, tensioners, idler, and water pump together during service to reduce the chance of repeat labor. Confirm exact vehicle application by year, make, model, and engine configuration before installation.

Quality Assurance

Gates supplies OE-performance timing components for service work that requires accurate fitment and dependable timing system operation. The kit is assembled with premium replacement components intended to meet the demands of scheduled timing belt maintenance on supported Acura and Honda vehicles.
