AISIN Timing Belt Kit TKH-002 with Water Pump — OE-Quality Complete Front-End Kit

A complete AISIN TKH-002 timing belt kit bundles an OE-grade water pump, belt, tensioner, pulleys, gasket, and instructions so you can replace the whole front-end timing system in one service.

If your vehicle is one of the compatible Acura, Honda, or Saturn models, this kit provides the factory-matched components engineered to work together, eliminating the hassle of sourcing separate parts. Replacing the timing belt and water pump at the same time is standard practice because both components share labor access and similar service intervals. AISIN supplies original-equipment quality parts from trusted manufacturers—Mitsuboshi, Toyo, NTN—backed by the company’s experience as the world’s leading OE water pump maker.

Why replace the timing belt and water pump together?

Both parts sit behind the same covers and require the same level of disassembly, so replacing them together saves labor and lowers the risk of future breakdowns from a worn adjacent component. Installing new matching parts also helps preserve correct belt tension, pulley alignment, and coolant sealing.

• Shared labor—one removal to service both items.
• New tensioner and pulleys keep belt tracking accurate.
• Water pump replacement prevents coolant leaks after belt work.
• OE-matched parts ensure compatibility and fitment.

What exactly comes in the AISIN TKH-002 kit?

The TKH-002 kit arrives as a single packaged set containing the core components required for a full timing system service. Everything is sized and specified to match original equipment standards so installation follows the vehicle’s factory tolerances.

• AISIN water pump with diecast aluminum housing and ceramic sealing surface.
• Timing belt manufactured by OE suppliers like Mitsuboshi or Toyo.
• Tensioner, idler pulleys, gasket, and hardware for a complete swap.
• Printed installation instructions to guide reassembly and torque specs.

Which vehicles does this kit fit and how do I verify fitment?

The TKH-002 covers many Acura and Honda model years plus the Saturn Vue listed by AISIN, but engine code and production options can affect compatibility. Always confirm with the vehicle fitment checker or your VIN-specific parts lookup before purchase to ensure the engine variant matches.

• Acura examples: MDX (2008–2018), RDX (2013–2018), TL/TLX series, RL/RLX, TSX, ZDX.
• Honda examples: Accord (2003–2017), Crosstour, Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline across applicable years.
• Saturn example: Vue (2004–2007).
• Double-check engine code and VIN for exact fitment confirmation.

How does AISIN quality matter compared with aftermarket parts?

AISIN supplies OE-level components and partners with established manufacturers, producing pumps and drive parts to factory standards. That means the cast housings, bearing quality, and seal materials are chosen to match original durability and maintain service intervals without unexpected premature wear.

• OE-matched parts reduce the chance of fitment or alignment issues.
• Advanced diecast pump housing and carbon ceramic seals resist leakage.
• Components sourced from recognized suppliers (NTN, Toyo, Mitsuboshi).
• Packaged as a single kit to simplify repairs and parts warranty handling.

Who is this for: The AISIN TKH-002 kit is intended for DIY mechanics, independent shops, and service centers performing scheduled timing-belt service or addressing cooling-system repairs on the listed Acura, Honda, and Saturn models. It’s ideal for anyone who wants original-equipment quality parts grouped together to reduce downtime and avoid repeat disassembly.
