Product Description

The Gates TCKWP265C kit is a full timing-belt and water-pump replacement solution engineered for 2003-2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser and 2004-2005 Dodge Neon 2.4 L gasoline engines. By bundling the belt, tensioner, idler, water pump and seal into one kit, it ensures complete compatibility and simplifies maintenance - no need to source separate components or mix parts from different suppliers.

The kit's 146-tooth HSN-compound timing belt offers durable, heat- and wear-resistant performance, while the spring-type tensioner and idler pulley ensure proper routing and stable belt tension for accurate timing. Replacing the water pump simultaneously with the belt helps refresh the coolant system and prevents future coolant-system failure or leaks, which is especially important for timing-belt-driven water-pump engines.

This kit is ideal for owners or mechanics performing a full timing-system overhaul or routine maintenance on the supported Chrysler and Dodge 2.4 L 4-cyl engines. Installing all critical components at once reduces risk of premature failure and ensures long-term reliability when installed following factory torque and alignment specifications.
