Reviews of Gates parts For Business

GATES is just as good and 1/5th of the price.

Gates belts , if you have a turbo, and blow a belt every 3 rides like me, they replace - no questions asked. Way better than buying a take off or slightly used imo

i personally run a 90c/195f one, the GATES 33209. it gets cold here in WI and it will hold 192f on the highway with the heat at speed 1

i have a blue gates belt on my m20, its a good belt

We use Gates belts in the commercial space, they're good quality.

I went with Gates. My oem pump on my Mazda CX9 failed at 90k.... The bearing failed and the amount of bearing material in the housing was crazy.

The new Gates water pump installed last month started leaking. I have only driven around 1000km. Does this happen a lot for Gates pumps?

Years ago I would use the Gates kit on my 03 Evo with no issue, but a few years back I had a failure (from a different component) after 19k miles and the Gates pump was weeping when I removed it. The shop I use also doesn’t recommend them either so I go OEM for the water pump anymore.

water pump failed at 101,000. Shop replaced under warranty. That next one failed at 110,000. Took a little work since shop changed owners but got the the water pump replaced at no cost. Shop said the two bad ones were Gates

I had nothing but problems with Gates water pumps in my 4Runner - they would always start leaking profusely from the weep hole after a few days of use. Replaced it three times under warranty
