Get an AISIN timing belt kit with water pump. Uses OE parts. Don’t use gates, dayco, and esp not no name timing belt kits.
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.
Be sure to buy an Aisin timing belt and water pump kit. If it has an automatic transmission, replace the radiator as well or add an external transmission cooler.
i have a blue gates belt on my m20, its a good belt
We use Gates belts in the commercial space, they're good quality.
been on my car for a few years with no complaints.
The previous Gates belt looked completely fine, and probably could have lasted another 10 years.
I've been using a Gates belt on my weekend toy for the past 5,000 hard, abusive miles with no catastrophic failure. I did have their water pump fail internally in under 1,000 miles. Replaced with Subaru OEM.
I've had gates belts do that in 20k.
Gates timing belt broke and took out the engine in my old 2009 legacy with the sohc 2.5l. It was only installed for about 5 years and 60k mi / 96.5k km. Don't skimp on the most important belt your engine has, buy genuine subaru.
