What Owners Say

Owners and enthusiasts consistently praise Gates timing belts themselves as reliable components, with many recommending the brand alongside Continental for quality and performance. However, opinions on the complete kits reveal more mixed experiences—particularly with the included water pumps, which some report leaking on certain applications, and tensioners or pulleys that occasionally fail prematurely. Several experienced mechanics note they've seen component quality vary, with some installations performing flawlessly while others experience issues within 10-50k miles. Despite these concerns about ancillary components, the Gates belt itself maintains a solid reputation, though savvy installers often prefer Aisin complete kits or choose to upgrade individual pulleys when using Gates packages.
