Product Details

The Gates PowerGrip Premium OE Timing Belt Component Kit W/Water Pump is engineered as a complete timing service solution for vehicles that use a belt-driven water pump. The kit is built around a 146-tooth, 24 mm wide timing belt and includes the matching tensioner, idler pulley, water pump, and sealing components needed to service the timing system together. Gates TCKWP338 is intended for applications where the timing belt and water pump should be replaced at the same interval to maintain proper engine operation.

This part cross-references Continental PP338LK1 and Dayco WP338K1A for the same application. Fits 2010-2016 Chevrolet Cruze, 2012-2018 Chevrolet Sonic, 2009-2011 Chevrolet Aveo, and additional listed applications including Chevrolet Cruze Limited, Aveo5, Pontiac G3, Pontiac G3 Wave, Saturn Astra, Suzuki Swift+, and Chevrolet Astra.

Common Service Issues Addressed

• Timing belt wear, cracking, or tooth damage
• Water pump leakage or bearing noise
• Tensioner or idler pulley noise and belt tracking concerns
• Coolant seepage at the timing cover area
• Preventive timing service on interference engines

Installation Notes

Follow the included instructions and the vehicle service procedure for timing alignment, torque values, and coolant system refill. Because this kit is used on interference engine applications, correct camshaft and crankshaft timing is critical during installation. Replace the timing belt-driven water pump at the same time as the belt service to reduce repeat labor and avoid reopening the timing system.

Quality Assurance

Gates supplies OE-style timing components with an OE exact comparison rating for this application. The PowerGrip Premium OE line is built to provide the belt, pulleys, tensioning components, and water pump in one service package for a more complete timing system repair.
