Review on ⌚ Gates TCKWP307A: Ensuring Precision with Engine Timing Belt Kit and Water Pump by Ryan Frawley

I don't know when the change was made but it looks like Gates replaced the tensioner with a cheaper one. After installing this kit on my car, I noticed that the tensioner piston became soft. I was able to untwist the tensioner by squeezing its piston with minimal effort. The new tensioner does not meet Subaru specifications. I had to order a new higher quality tensioner to use this kit on my car. As you can see in the attached picture the tensioner that was provided to me with this kit does not match the one shown in the listing. Until they fix it I'll look for another option.
