thompster Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Finally got round to changing the cambelt on my K series today which was pretty straightforward. I bought a complete Gates Powerbelt kit with pump and tensioner. While the belt itself will I'm sure be up to Gates usual standard, the rest of the kit left something to be desired. The tensioner bearing was Chinese rather than SKF or similar and the water pump impellor was plastic. I'm sure (hope) the pump and tensioner will be fine but quality of the components wasn't what I expected from a premium branded set. If you're planning on a cambelt change maybe source the bits separately instead of buying this set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Indeed. I made sure my replacement water pump had a steel impeller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
