Gates TCKWP335 Kit

With such a critical part you want to use a name you’ve heard of, not some name at 1/3 the price

The kit fits to my 2006 Chevy Aveo.A tensioner pulley and the other pulley are plastic as same as original parts.Also fan in water pump is plastic (original is steel).I've changed it at 50k miles since I see some complain on web about failing belt.I found the original belt tension was way lower than it suppose to. It was good to find it before trouble happen.It was first time for me to change timing belt of any car and took me about 2 days for me to finish it.And half day to re-adjust belt tension (second time was way faster that fist try).If you are not confident to work with it, you may not want to do it yourself. And you can buy this kit and water pump wrench.Then call repair shop around your place to find someone who can work with "brought in" parts.You can save some money by this way.Anyway if you are novice like me and still want to do it by yourself, followings are things I learn from this time.1) Order to work with bolts without impact wrench.Remove crankshaft pulley bolt --> Untighten camshaft bolts. --> Remove timing belt.2) Crankshaft pulley bolt is difficult to untighten if impact wrench is not used. I watched following video on youtube and worked on my aveo."How to use a breaker bar to remove a crank pulley bolt on a passenger facing, clockwise engine. "3) This kit come with instruction to replace timing belt. But to replacing water pump and tensioner, the camshaft gears and the belt covers at side of cylinder block (inner timing belt cover) have to be taken off.Instruction in Aveo Forum can be found by searching with "aveo forum timing belt write-up".4) Camshaft gear bolts need to be untightened before the timing belt removed. So the camshaft won't rotate because the belt is holding it when you untighten it. Just untighten it first. The bolt will be removed after the timing belt removed. I realized it after I took timing belt off. So I needed to re-assemble timing belt again to untighten camshaft gear bolts. It may not be problem if impact wrench is used.5) I started work with socket wrench set, wrench set and screw driver set. Jack, jack stands and wheel chock.But all fasteners are frozen, needed breaker bar. I bought a following breaker bar and an adapter.1/2" female - 3/8 male adapter1/2" drive-18" length breaker bar6) Need extension for socket wrench to remove engine mount bolts and others. I bought a set.3/8" drive 1-1/2 In., 3 In., 6 In., 10 In.7) To untighten water pump retaining bolts, hex bit and breaker bar are needed. I bought a set.3/8 in. drive chrome vanadium steel metric hex bit set3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm8) When water pump retaining bolts are loosen, pump shaft may be tilted little bit and changes tension on timing belt.Tension will be adjusted with slightly loosen retaining bolts. But check the tension gauge again after retaining bolts are tightened.It will have more tension when retaining bolts are tightened.Lower tension may damage the belt.Higher tension makes more belt noise and may damage the belt too.Because of this, I had to redo tension adjustment again after I hear noise of tight belt on test drive.9) As others said 41mm water pump wrench is needed.Lisle 13500 41mm Water Pump Wrench for GM 1.6L10) Cam lock tool is useful ( I bought it). But when camshaft gears are removed and re-assembled, I still struggle to rotate camshafts in correct place and putting this lock took. Still worth to have this tool.Lisle 36880 Dual Overhead Cam Lock Tool11) I personally recommend to replace thermostat housing originally made by plastic. People complain about this part since it seems brake often. I bought stainless one at AutoZone and O ring for it. Original washers on bolts won't fit to this parts (washers are too large and can't take off from bolts) and needed to grind to make it fit. Since coolant need to replace at this work, this thermostat and housing better to be changed in same time.Good luck.

Contento con mi compra ya que se nota que es un producto de calidad y original

Kit was a great idea and made the swap much easier. I trust Gates belts and so far have not been disappointed. As other reviewers have mentioned, the water pump has a plastic impeller but is working fine. Tensioner and idler pulleys seem to be good quality too. The kit even contained rudimentary directions for the swap though internet research was more fruitful. I have several hundred miles on the parts now with no apparent trouble. The kit gets an A+ Amazon shipping a D. It was a week before I even received a tracking number. It's a good thing that I ordered the kit well in advance of my planned work. So what took so long to ship?

While replacing the alternator, I decided to replace the timing belt and after reading about that task online, decided to replace with this kit. All the parts fit, were in good condition, and have worked well since installation.

This a brand name at a great price. I looked everywhere and this was the cheapest where I could find it. My mechanic recommended this brand and my car is now running like new.

I purchased this kit to replace the water pump, and timing set in my girlfriends Chevy Aveo. This kit came with everything I needed to replace. It's been a few months now, and this daily driven car still runs great. P.S. don't bother trying to use a cam hold down kit for this job on this car, you have to take the cam sprockets off to get to the water pump, stupid design on GM's part.

I replace the timing belt on my 2006 chevy aveo along with the tensioner and idler pulley as well as the water pump. It wasn't that difficult it just took a little while. I advise you buy the cam locking tool, water pump tool, serpentine belt, and air intake hose because mine cracked while pulling it off. Be really careful trying to put the belt back on. Not only do the marks have to match on the new belt but the two cam markings must face each other WHILE the crankshaft pulley notch is pointing down. Just take your time and you'll be fine.

Le quedó perfecto a mi Aveo 2013, es automático. Hasta el momento todo bien

Fit perfectly. I've used gate products for many years now. They are of good quality, reliable, and their price are good.

I bought these for my 2007 chevy aveo, 1.6 engine VIN#6 (eighth number from left to right) package arrive on time as expected being prime, parts were complete and accurate. Belt is gates brand (trustable) tensioner, idler and pump not brand identification.Got these to my local garage to get them installed June 18, 2018 all parts fitted without hesitation or problem coolant flush done (despite I thought was not necessary but warranty wise it's a must) I have used the car for a couple of hundreds of kilometers not problems, engine runs smoothly (tune up done too spark plugs and wires).My only hesitation so far is the quality of pump, idle and tensioner which I have to wait for a couple of thousand of kilometer if meets the expectations (hope it does since reliability of this car must remains high for my use).I will be updating in the next Kms how things are going.So far satisfy with these (price).Ps: since kit doesn't have the pump wrench is good to have it if it's going to be replace by DIYer. (Vise wrench could be an option but more work is required).Sept 1st3 months later and 10000 Km already ran and everything it's ok. Let's wait for 5000km more.July 2019.A year later almost 30k and everything is ok.
