Inside of the engine was super clean Gates racing belt, I figure the extra couple bucks is worth it.
Pros: super clean, worth it
Thanks for all of the replies everybody big help love the community I was able to source the parts I needed today timing belt,water pump, tensioner, and pink antifreeze there was green in my car so I flushed it out before I started to do the timing job, which btw took me 7 hours mannnn I’ve never done one of these before and looking at the DIY and YouTube helped a lot but it’s all done and can make it to work tomorrow. If I was off would have started this tomorrow morning I had no choice but to start today at 2:30. Took her for a drive sound was gone car feels great. Again thank you all!
Pros: sound was gone, car feels great
Cons: took 7 hours
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I got the GATES 34710 Thermostat. I haven't had any problems since replacing it 3 years ago.
Pros: no problems for 3 years
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Sonic
Part number: 34710
I have had very good experiences with the NEW Gates pumps and they make a replacement tube as well. I have installed them in 17 4.0 engines over the last 4 years and had no comeback failures.
Pros: very good experiences, no failures
Get a Gates belt. They are the best and timing belt is no place to cheap out.
Pros: best quality, reliable
Got the Gates belt installed, but I haven't been able to run the car long enough to know if the noise is fixed. I did notice when transferring the timing belts from the Conti belt to the Gates belt that the Conti belt is a fraction of a mm thicker.
Cons: Conti belt thicker
Vehicle:
Audi TT
I’m looking at you all you cheap fucking Honda timing belts. Gates/oem or go fuck your mother.
Cons: cheap timing belts
Vehicle:
Honda
Don’t use a Gates kit or if you do purchase the Gates kit without the water pump and get a different brand water pump. Gates water pumps have an enormously high failure rate in the last several years and it sucks to have to do the job twice.
Cons: high failure rate, job twice
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
Fuck gates kits. They are junk. I’ve heard of this happening in several occasions along with the timing belt snapping on people with very low miles or simply from it being too cold out.
Cons: junk kits, belt snapping
