Gates TCKWP265C timing belt kit with water pump for the 2003-2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser 4-cylinder 2.4L and other vehicles replaces the timing belt and the water pump it drives in a single kit. A timing belt driven water pump is replaced at the same time as the belt.
Coolant seeping at the water pump, a squealing or ticking noise near the belt, or a frayed or cracked belt can mean this kit is worn, though a loose accessory drive belt or a leaking hose can be behind the same signs. Find the cause before you replace the kit.
It fits the 2003-2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser 4-cylinder 2.4L, the 2003-2005 Dodge Neon 4-cylinder 2.4L and the 2005 Dodge SX, and each takes one kit.
