Today’s engines demand precise timing and reliable components. For jobbers, that means going beyond the belt and recommending a complete system solution when maintenance is needed. Timing belt water pumpkits give repair shops a convenient and comprehensive option while helping reduce sourcing complexity, and reduce problems that arise from mismatched components.

Jobber Tips for Timing Belt Repairs

Timing belt replacement is a labor-intensive service. Help your shop customers make the most of the opportunity by recommending a kit rather than replacing components individually. This approach can improve service confidence and further establish your business as a trusted resource and partner.

• Promote the complete repair: A timing belt water pump kit provides all components in one package. Because these components operate as a system and typically wear at similar intervals, replacing them together can help improve repair reliability and reduce comebacks.
• Designed as a system: A benefit of timing belt kits is that all components are engineered to work together. Dayco’s timing belt water pump kits include OE-equivalent application-specific parts engineered for a vehicle’s best fit.
• Help shops avoid repeat labor: Replacing related components during timing belt service can help motorists save money, by avoiding paying for the same labor twice.
• Know the service interval: Flag vehicles approaching their recommended timing belt replacement interval to help shops proactively offer inspections.
• Check application details: Since systems vary by engine and model year, verify the exact application before ordering to avoid returns and delays.
• Educate the value of OE technology: Emphasize the importance of using suppliers with OE experience and products.

Upgrade to a Smarter Timing System Solution

Why a Water Pump Kit Means Better Value for Your Customers
Reusing an aging water pump during a timing belt replacement can introduce the risk of leaks and worn bearings — which can potentially compromise the new belt. That’s why a timing belt replacement is the most appropriate time to replace the water pump.

Built with new materials and upgraded impellers, Dayco’s durable, single piece water pumps are designed with gaskets that retain bolt torque, a roller bearing hub and composite seals that help prevent leaks. Plus, all timing belt water pump kits are backed by a 200,000km warranty.

For jobbers, timing belt kits translate into a single, application-specific solution that makes it easier to deliver the right parts the first time.
