What Owners Say
Gates timing belt kits draw mixed feedback from owners and enthusiasts. Many appreciate that Gates ranks among the top-recommended brands alongside Continental and Aisin, with the belts themselves generally performing reliably when paired with quality pulleys. However, concerns surface about component consistency—some owners report water pump leaks on certain applications, while others have experienced premature belt failures or bearing issues within 15,000-50,000 miles. The consensus leans toward Gates as a respected option, though experienced mechanics often suggest verifying the quality of included components beyond just the belt itself. Despite the variability, Gates maintains its standing as a frequently recommended choice in the timing belt kit market.
