Review on Gates TCKWP257A Engine Timing Belt Kit with Water Pump: Ultimate Timing Solution by Stephen Schmidt

Revainrating 2 out of 5

+1 for leaking water pump

I bought this kit thinking it would be the last time I would need to replace the water pump. Less than 20,000 when coolant began to flow from the pump. As a mechanic with over 15 years of experience installing many water pumps, I will never use a Gates product again. Luckily it was my own car, not a client's, and it will only cost me time and parts.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • expensive
