Assembled with the same components as Continental's standard timing belt kit, this Timing Belt Kit with a water pump provides an economical alternative for consumers with early model vehicles at the end of their life cycles.
When To Use This Kit:
Older vehicle maintenance: Sometimes it may be necessary to spend money on a new water pump for an aging vehicle. In this case, the Continental Timing Belt Kit with Water Pump is the most cost-effective, quality option.
A competitive price is needed: This kit is an economical alternative for consumers with early model vehicles at the end of their life cycle. It’s Continental's goal to provide the market with high-quality, affordable replacement parts – no matter the vehicle's age.
Every belt driven water pump has a weep hole that might leak a little in the beginning. Some seepage from the weep hole is normal during the break-in period (about 10 minutes), and does not indicate a defect.

The Importance Of Timely Timing Belt Replacement
Benefits of Purchasing a Complete Kit
Purchasing individual components may be less expensive up-front, but a complete Timing Belt, Water Pump & Component Kit provides added benefits:
✓
Extend Service Life: Without proper tension, even the best new belt can't efficiently transfer power. Replacing all components together will make the whole system run more efficiently, and keep new parts from wearing out too fast.
✓
Save Time & Money:The cost of the Timing Belt, Water Pump & Component Kit is often less than buying all of the components individually, and replacing all of the components at the same time means you only have to do the job (or pay for labor) once.
Cooling System Maintenance | Tips & Tools
Without regular maintenance, cooling system components will degrade and fail prematurely, which can lead to costly engine damage. Protect your engine with simple preventative maintenance:
Completely drain and flush the system using Cooling System Flush prior to installation. Flushing the system is critical to prevent system contamination and failure.
Consider replacing the Radiator Hoses (and Hose Clamps), Thermostat and Radiator Cap as part of routine preventative maintenance. System contamination can cause these parts to degrade and fail over time, which can lead to severe engine damage from overheating.
Refill radiator with fresh Coolant / Antifreeze according to the volume and formula specified in your Owner's Manual. Inspect levels and condition every year.
