Timing belt DAYCO or Gates

Gates makes good belts.

Vote 1, for Dayco Timing belts

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.

Gates, I've installed dozens of them and never had a problem, easily outlast the timing belt.

I used a gates (rpm) belt , its expensive ($80?) but i feel like thats a part you dont want to go cheap with !

We have a gates timing belt in our 04 Jetta that was placed Dec 2010 and 72k miles ago. Going to change it here soon with a new one this spring. Its accessory belt is gates too. My 06 Navigator has a gates drive belt. Brother in law’s BRZ had a gates belt.

Timing belts arnt as bad as people say. Just pay attention to detail. I’d just say, make sure you do all the tensioners and everything else that connects to it, there should be a full kit of all the parts.

Dayco isn’t original meaning someone’s changed it before. Cracks mean way too long ago. Don’t chance it

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

I've had gates belts do that in 20k.
