Owner reviews for drive belt

Gates is a top OEM brand for belts. Should last 8-10yrs

Just had mine done recently on a 2014 CS MT, drive belt was the only 60k specific item, and honestly the old belt they pulled out looked almost new

The only drive belts worth buying, that wont leave you sitting is Honda oem(Bando).

Gates make a decent one. Can confirm as I did this job 12 months ago and just checked my receipt. Has done 20,000km since with no worries.

Alleen de multiriem vervangen kostte hier 450 euro dus ik zou in mijn handen knijpen voor zo’n factuur.

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

Get a Toyota belt or one of those gates green belts.

My 2019 with 122k miles is still on the factory drive belt with no significant signs of wear

Sometimes, drive belts are recommended for replacement because they've stretched past the auto tensioner's limit or are close to it. It's not always just because they're cracked.

Over the past month i’ve replaced basically all my pulleys. Just now changed my harm balancer and put my 3rd Duralast belt on from this month. I turn the car on this morning, still squealing. What’s odd tho was that when i went to lunch, I almost stalled going in the road ????, but the jutter made the squealing stop. Going back to work, it was back. Also when cold it seems to be a lot more loud than driving. When cold, it’s audible even from idle, but after driving it’s just noticeable past 1.5k rpm. Should i try a better belt?
