Review on ⌛️ Gates TCKWP296M PowerGrip Premium Timing Belt Component Kit with Water Pump" - Enhanced for SEO: "Gates PowerGrip Premium Timing Belt Component Kit TCKWP296M with Integrated Water Pump by Brandon Kraemer

I replaced the original water pump, tensioner and timing belt in my mother's 2002 Jetta 110,000 in October 2015 with this Gates kit. In July, a Gates pump failed. 2016, leakage through internal shaft seals. Gates Guarantee requires mailing in ALL items in the kit, waiting 8-10 weeks for claim processing, and submitting IRS Form W-9 to verify your SSN! Talk about a customer-unfriendly process. It's a real headache for a do-it-yourself mechanic - spend a few bucks more and get an OEM replacement so you don't have to do the job a second time.
