Gates 99-08 Subaru Forester / 99-05 Impreza / 00-05 Outback Timing Belt Component Kit w/ Water Pump

This is a Gates Timing Belt Component Kit with a water pump, specifically for your 1999-2005 Subaru Forester. When it's time to replace your timing belt, it's also the best time to swap out other components that wear out at the same rate, like the water pump, tensioners, and idler pulleys. This kit bundles all those essential parts together, saving you a trip to the parts store and ensuring you have everything needed for a complete job.

Gates is known for making well-built engine components, and this kit is no exception. It includes a high-quality timing belt made with advanced materials to resist heat and contamination, along with a new water pump to keep your engine's cooling system working efficiently. Replacing these parts together helps prevent premature failure of the new belt due to a worn-out water pump bearing or seal, and it makes the job more cost-effective in the long run since much of the labor is the same for all these components. You'll find a new tensioner and idler pulleys in the box too, all designed to work together to keep your engine's timing precise.

When you're doing a timing belt job, it's critical to get the timing marks aligned perfectly. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions closely. This kit is designed to fit your Forester, Impreza, Outback, or Saab 9-2X from the specified years, giving you peace of mind that all the parts will work together as they should.
