Pros: no problems

Just had a Gates one put on, no complaints here. One note to mention is that the water pump pulley seems to sometimes not seat on to the shaft perfectly. When mine got done I noticed that the pump pulley wobbled around excessively. The shop took it back, removed the belt, retorqued and all was good. The technician said that weird lining up with a pump pulley is a Honda thing, never knew that fiestas had that too.
Pros: no complaints
Cons: water pump pulley wobble
Vehicle:
Ford Fiesta
We used to install gates pump and belt kits, but saw too many leaking water pumps well before they were due for another belt. Switched to aisin kits and haven't had a problem.
Pros: no problems with Aisin
Cons: leaking water pumps
Their water pump especially is garbage.
Cons: water pump is garbage
Gates used to be a decent brand, but I would avoid them anymore.
Pros: used to be decent
Cons: avoid them anymore
I use the aisin kit or oem honda. I’ve had the tensioners in the dayco kits fail, and the water pumps in the gates kits fail
Cons: water pumps fail
Mines literally the same story as yours. It’s leaking out the weephole after about a month, less than 1500kms install. Their warranty claim procedure looks as complicated as it can get too
Cons: leaking out weephole, complicated warranty
Mileage: 1500 km
