The water pump is an important part of the vehicle cooling system. It ensures continuous flow of coolant through the radiator and motor. Many water pumps are powered by the control belt. If the water pump fails, coolant leaks and the belt is contaminated. Long-term contamination by cooling water results in premature failure of the control belt. Gates recommends replacing the timing belt powered water pump when maintaining the timing belt and other drive components. If you decide to replace the water pump together with the belt, assume that the pump will still survive the full life of a new timing belt. The replacement of the water pump is also part of a complete overhaul and can be carried out in time efficiently. Thanks to the PowerGrip™ kit with water pump, you have all the necessary elements for replacement in one package - ready to use. The installation of the product must be done by a qualified professional in accordance with the assembly instructions and the use of appropriate state of the art tools.
