Review on πŸ”§ Gates High Performance Timing Belt Kit TCKWP306AMRB with RPM Water Pump by Farhad Cantu

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The water pump bearing DOES NOT HOLD!

I have installed this kit in 2 of my cars. 2003 A4 B6 1.8t quattro 5sp and 2004 A4 B6 1.8t quattro 6sp. The water pump bearing was stuck on every car and cost me a cylinder head replacement on both cars. Don't do like me and use a German stock water pump instead. This will save you the headache and heartache that comes with engine failure. In 2003 it was 30,000 miles and in 2004 it was 47,000 miles. The belt and other components in the kit work properly.

Pros
  • Water pumps are designed and built for long lasting efficient cooling
Cons
  • Good but not great
