Great details and perfect fit.

The product fits and works perfectly in our VW Jetta. Exact replacement. Just take your time to set the details. The car is ready for another 4 years. Will order again to fix another VW we have.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • boring packaging

So far so good - timing belt kit

Installed on my 2002 VW Jetta (2.0 engine). The set is of good quality and everything works. I will say that the tensioner doesn't seem to have as much tension as the OEM block I removed. Not sure if this is a problem or not as everything works fine, just an observation.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Big and chunky

I drive like a madman with five gears and high revs

This is my second purchase of this product. The first set is over 4 years old and has 60,000 miles on it. As a result, the water pump seal failed. I drive like a madman with five gears and high revs. Great set for the price. The old timing belt and idler pulley still look good.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Reliability

Cheap - the tensioner did not inspire confidence

Despite the Chinese production, the pump looks normal. The stretcher seems a bit light compared to the one I took off and doesn't seem to tighten as much as the previous one - time will tell if everything is ok. Everything seems fine so far, although I will buy original spares next time.

Pros
  • The price is excellent
Cons
  • A little wrinkled

Pump failed after 8 months

I replaced the original water pump, tensioner and timing belt in my mother's 2002 Jetta 110,000 in October 2015 with this Gates kit. In July, a Gates pump failed. 2016, leakage through internal shaft seals. Gates Guarantee requires mailing in ALL items in the kit, waiting 8-10 weeks for claim processing, and submitting IRS Form W-9 to verify your SSN! Talk about a customer-unfriendly process. It's a real headache for a do-it-yourself mechanic - spend a few bucks more and get an OEM replacement…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Some little things
