Nice set and quality product.

Always check the Gates website for correct installation. Glad it's a complete set. Again good quality from Gates. I personally had trouble getting the timing of the camera right and had to do it.

Pros
  • Timing belt kit
Cons
  • Hard to say

Warning! Defective water pump in this kit!

I would give this Gates TCKWP295D Water Pump Timing Belt Kit zero stars if it were allowed. I installed the kit in July 2016 and within six months (and less than 3,000 miles) the water pump started leaking - not from the seal but from the impeller shaft. The Gates lifetime warranty is almost useless when you realize that refitting new parts takes hours of work to achieve. The thought of wasted time, effort and expense due to Gates' defective water pump infuriates me. Buy this kit from another…

DO NOT BUY IF YOU NEED A LIFETIME WARRANTY!

I bought this part thinking I would buy it from Gates but I don't know I bought it from Sixty Auto which sells Gates products. Even if it is not listed on Revain when purchasing this product. I bought this product thinking it had a lifetime warranty and found it didn't. Sixty Auto only gives a 1 year warranty. When I bought it in November 2015 the water pump only lasted two and a half which led to me buying another water pump and timing belt. So if you're looking for the same price but with a…

Pros
  • Replacement Parts

All in all a great kit suitable for spare parts

Everything fits as it should. I order for the second time and will order for the third time. The only downside is that the water pump doesn't last as long as the factory one. I've used this kit for about 106,000 miles and the factory water pump pulley had some play but isn't leaking yet. After 90,000 miles I decided I could do it again before winter. I did this and the water pump had a little play in the pulley and also leaked a little off the pulley. However, it never leaked enough where I had

Pros
  • Water pumps designed and built for long-lasting efficient cooling
Cons
  • No automatic
