I check the RockAuto parts catalog and they list two similar Gates part numberss:

TCKWP245A and TCKWP245B. From the link that darthroush posted: http://chronoscender.freeservers.com...imingbelt.html
and the corresponding Gates part pictures, the difference is the tensioner. Would the correct part to buy for a 2003 2.0L be the TCKWP245A?

Thanks

darthroush,

I realized I should also do the thermostat when I do my timing belt replacement.

Is this the correct part#: 05278144AA

If I'm reading the description correctly it's the thermostat + seal/gasket

sooo true. i just changed the head on my car. an 05 it SUCCCKEEDDDDD and the one i got was the gates kit. just gotta make sure you get the right tensioner theres a mechanical or a hydraulic tensioner thats the only issue i ran into. and here in canada the parts are wayyy more expensive than down there... now.... to fix the fact that it wont idle at all.... hmmm if anyone could help with that id be set
