Review on πŸ”§ Gates TCKWP249 PowerGrip Premium Kit with Water Pump for Timing Belt Components by Chp Rodgers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fits my 2002 Xterra for timing belt kits

It's not the most difficult of tasks, but you want to make sure you get it right. All components in the kit fit like OEM. The markings on the belt were accurate. Once there, grab the crank seal and it's time to replace the radiator hoses as well as the heater bypass hose. Don't forget to replace the thermostat while you're there and new V-belts would be a good idea too. Mine only cost 70,000 but is 18 years overdue. Now I'm fine until I've done 170,000 miles!

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Low repairability
