Owner reviews for timing belt

Gates is fine. If you find the gates racing belt it's better. But they are super rare these days. Stay away from any Amazon or ebay crap.

It was a 10 piece kit and ended up being about $195 after tax and took about 3-4 days for shipping from Japan. It was one the most common kits you see with the Mitsuboshi timing belt. No complaints, worked out great, good price for the amount of parts it contains, and everything seems to be quality Japanese aftermarket parts.

I just did the timing belt in my new to me 2004 limited and bought the aisin timing belt kit (tkt-021) with water pump. I bought it from summit racing for $183 had it overnighted to me for additional $33 and still cheaper than any parts store near me by $70.

I ran my 2012 pilot with similar miles for 200k without changing the belt (it’s also got that v6 shared with the tl if I’m not mistaken)

I know I’m in the UK but a Volvo dealership changed the timing belt, auxiliary belt and kit last year on my V60 D5 and I had change from £300.

I have a 2009 C30 with 80k miles and I just did the timing belt and serpentine belts. The timing belt had noticeable cracks and the tensioner was pretty worn out. Better to get it done and spend the money now than have it snap and have a bricked car.

That being said the Aisin timing belt kits are the only ones I use at my shop.

I have read a lot about the wet timing belt issues, and still went ahead to purchase a 308SW with 85KM...for the 1.2 Puretech, I believe companies like continental contitech have produce a CT1228 belt specifically to tackle oil on the belt, and I believe it's important we use the correct and good quality oil..

BEWARE ! I got 2008 hyundai 2.7 Santa Fe , 2 year ago I buy a full DNJ timing belt set after 22,300 miles the timing belt broke up. Now I have to paid over 5k to fix my SUV, next time I gonna buy the original timing belt set from the Hyundai.

I purchased this “economy” rock auto timing belt (enginetech) however the belt was an evergreen belt in an enginetech box, because i didn’t have much money to spare at the time of replacement and this is what i get for cheaping out.
