AISIN TKT-021 kit has everything you need for timing belt/water pump. The water pump is driven by the timing belt, so always replace it when doing the belt.
Pros: has everything you need
Vehicle:
Toyota
Part number: TKT-021
I\u2019d say that if you don\u2019t have written evidence of when the service was done, doing it is good, cheap insurance. +1 on using the Aisin TKH-002 kit.
Pros: cheap insurance, good kit
Part number: TKH002
I used AISIN 20% PRE-MIXED COOLANT ON MY AIO WITHOUT DILUTING, do i need to replace and dilute it? by surprise, it has 32°c idle temp and never 69°c max temp on cinebench on milticore test. and on triple AAA games, my i5 11400, never exceeded 55°c.
Pros: low idle temperature, low max temperature
I had the belt job done on my 2015 a couple of years ago by a local shop using the Aisin kit and it was about $900.
Pros: OEM quality, best value
Vehicle:
Honda Pilot
Part number: TKH002
I used to swear by Honda’s antifreeze but now I get the Aisin brand. It’s half the price and is specifically for Hondas and Acura’s.
Pros: half the price
Vehicle:
Honda
Using aisin kit with mitsuboshi belt. Got the cam lock tool. Pulled a bone head move and forgot to tighten the bolts down before I released tension... spent 2 hours almost trying to get it lined up. Kept having an issue where teeth marks were half a tooth off. Did it a total of 4 times thinking I was messing up. Blessed be the youtuber who made a video years ago talking about belt stretch on new belts and that they WONT exactly match up. Had it not been for 100s of comments thanking him, I wouldn't have listened. Glad I did. Running like a top.
Pros: running like a top
Cons: teeth marks half a tooth off
If you get the Aisin kit and have a competent mechanic then it shouldn't cost that much to do. My shop has done quite a few Hondas and also recommended the Aisin kit.
Pros: Aisin kit recommended
Cons: cost can be high
Vehicle:
Honda
New thermostat (Aisin brand), fresh oil, fresh coolant, replaced at that time. Coolant system bled well. No leaks. Heat worked flawlessly. AC worked after the swap. Overheated the drive home after that swap, turns out the radiator fan module got fried on the final drive (it was above 250 on coolant temps before replacing the engine, on a 30 minute, fast, highway drive). Ordered a new one. Everything working perfect now at the right temperature points. Engine times reading perfect too (watching live data). On a 30 minute highway drive tonight, returning home after the same drive 2 days ago with zero issues, it overheats again. Radiator fans are working. The one thing I changed during the drive was turning down the heat from HIGH to 75. No more than 10 minutes later I hear the bubbling in the heater core area. Take my exit from the highway, and the red temp light starts flashing, temps read 239, and the bubbling worsened. Temps stayed above 228 until I made it home from my exit. Worse at red lights. Turned off for 10 minutes, turned back on, temps went up to 232 at idle, holding steady. Lower radiator hose read 102 degrees, upper hose reads 190.
Pros: heat worked flawlessly, AC worked
Cons: overheated, bubbling in heater core
