AISIN Timing Belt Kit TKH-003 with Water Pump for Acura EL / Honda Civic 2001–2005 — OE Fit, Complete Service Kit

A complete AISIN TKH-003 timing belt service kit that packages an OE-quality water pump, belt, tensioner and seals so you replace the whole timing system at once.

Replacing a timing belt without renewing the water pump and related hardware is a short-term fix that often leads to repeat labor. The AISIN TKH-003 kit is assembled to match original-equipment specifications and includes the pump, belt, tensioner, spring, gasket and installation instructions so the job is done correctly the first time. AISIN sources components from trusted manufacturers and uses durable materials—giving you the same form, fit and function your vehicle left the factory with.

Why should I replace the water pump and timing belt together?

Both parts sit behind the same engine cover and involve similar disassembly, so replacing them together saves time and prevents future failures shortly after the belt job. The water pump is commonly driven by or adjacent to the timing components, and a failing pump can damage a new belt or leave you stranded.

• One labor operation covers both belt and pump access
• Prevents wasteful repeat removal and reinstallation costs
• Reduces risk of premature belt or engine damage from pump failure
• AISIN pump includes carbon-ceramic sealing for longer life

What exactly is included in the AISIN TKH-003 kit?

The kit bundles every item you need for a proper timing service so you don’t have to hunt down compatible parts. Components in this boxed set are matched to OE tolerances and come with installation instructions for straightforward replacement.

• OE-quality water pump with diecast aluminum housing

Will this kit fit my Acura EL or Honda Civic?
