Reviews of Gates parts For Business

I used a gates water pump on mine and have had no issues

I’ve used gates on my superchargered setups and not one has failed

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a Gates timing belt.

Gates belts are good.

Genuine Gates ones are like what? $30 and 20 mins of work if they are being slow?

I only use gates kits on any HDI I work on. Out around 30 fitted to friends and family cars I had one water pump bearing fail after 4 months they changed it with no issues but as it was a home fit not garage no labour cost offered no other issues.

Did hear Gates did have a bad batch of 2.0 Blue HDI OEM water pumps with impellers coming loose

I installed a Gates one a couple months back and it worked well for a little while; engine got up to operating temp fairly quickly and stayed there, but now it’s running really cold no matter how long or how hard I drive it. Think it’s stuck open.

One this I did notice. Your belt is a gates t240, when I bought my truck the previous owner had that belt, and I found issues with it. The proper belt for mine is a gates T154. 154 being for 92 and earlier and 240 for 93 and up.

Good choice on going with Aisin. I had to redo the job on mine after 2 months when the shitty Gates water pump started pissing out the weep hole. Will never buy another Gates pump again.

We put a fresh Gates one in the daughters 1.4MA and it whined like crazy despite the tension being spot on.
