Excellent tensioner for engine parts

Good tensioner. No complaints. PITA for installation. but that's not Gates' fault. Works as an OEM part. Feel free to order this if it suits your application. Very important.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Modernity

Genuine Subaru Part

This is a genuine part manufactured by Bando in Japan for Subaru. The Bando logo and OE number are sanded off the casting (these areas stand out because they are shiny). So it's as good as you can get.

Pros
  • Replacement Part
Cons
  • Expensive

excellent OEM for engine parts

My Subaru dealer wanted over $100 for this part. After ordering this product, we discovered that it was the same "Made in Japan" part that the retailer sells. Since the pulley was the bad part, I just unscrewed the pulley and placed it on the body.

Pros
  • engine parts
Cons
  • reliability

2002 Subaru Outback H6 Perfect Spare Part

High quality, excellent construction. It's made in Japan, but I don't mind because Gates makes quality. It fits my Subaru perfectly and works like an OEM part. I would only trust Gates with spare parts when they are available.

Pros
  • Engines and Engine Parts
Cons
  • Small Items
