Review on 🔧 Gates TCKWP257 Timing Belt Kit with Water Pump for Engine by Clete Dean

2001 Toyota Sienna. I always remember Gates parts as high quality, maybe I was wrong then, but not anymore. I bought and installed this water pump and timing pump kit 5 years ago thinking I could save some money, it's not worth it in the long run unless you plan on selling the car in a few years. I ended up having to replace the water pump when it failed completely, not a small leak but a big one. If you intend to keep your vehicle, use Toyota OEM parts as this is such a labor intensive job. My original water pump and timing belt were fine, just thinking of doing preventive maintenance, I should have left it alone but thought the 3 liter engine would interfere but it wasn't so there is no need to replace the change timing belt.
