Gates built the TCKWP329 to deliver a full-system replacement in one convenient box: the correct PowerGrip timing belt, idlers, tensioners (including hydraulic units where required), a precision water pump, and the supporting hardware and instructions to get the job done right the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy replace the water pump along with the timing belt?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater pumps run at the same duty cycle and are accessible only when the timing cover is removed, so replacing them together prevents contaminant-induced or age-related failures after the belt job.
