Reviews of Gates timing belt

Gates lasted 50k miles …. Aisin or OEM seem to go longer

Gates makes the best timing belts.

I have the gates kevlar belt. It's great.

I used a Gates belt that the marks were off last fall.

Just had a Gates one put on, no complaints here. One note to mention is that the water pump pulley seems to sometimes not seat on to the shaft perfectly. When mine got done I noticed that the pump pulley wobbled around excessively. The shop took it back, removed the belt, retorqued and all was good. The technician said that weird lining up with a pump pulley is a Honda thing, never knew that fiestas had that too.

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.

been on my car for a few years with no complaints.

The previous Gates belt looked completely fine, and probably could have lasted another 10 years.

I have always had good luck with gates belts and they have always looked good when I replaced them too. 70-80k belts looking almost new.
