POWERGRIP® KITS PLUS WATER PUMP
(Product type 7883)
The water pump is a vital part of the vehicle’s cooling system. It delivers a continuous flow of coolant through the radiator and through the engine. Many water pumps are driven by the timing belt. If the water pump fails, coolant will leak and contaminate the belt. Long-term coolant contamination will eventually lead to premature timing belt failure. Gates recommends replacing the timing belt driven water pump while servicing the timing belt and other drive components. By not replacing the water pump is to assume that the pump will last for another full belt duty cycle. Replacing the water pump is critical for a complete overhaul and is time efficient. Thanks to the PowerGrip® Kit Plus Water Pump concept, you have all the elements necessary for a complete overhaul in one package, fit for the application. A PowerGrip® Kit Plus Water Pump offers: ›› The same elements as a PowerGrip® Kit PLUS ›› an application-specific water pump ›› seals and gaskets when necessary
