cambelt kit and waterpump

[ChAdS]

Just want to know if these brands are any good really as usually i go with gates for the cambelt kit and QH for the waterpump.

SKF for cambelt kit any good? I believe it is a gates belt

VGA??? and theres firstline waterpump not heard of it any one know anything about vga brand or the firstline brand?

The prices are just slightly under the brands i would usually go for there instock were as the others are not.

SKF for the tensioner, idler etc, Gates is a good belt and thats what youll get in the SKF kit. Ive used Dayco belts before, USA made and never had a problem.

With water pumps I dont use QH anymore, my local Citroen specialist stocks Valeo OE water pumps for less than many other shit brands, £28.

So you would say then SKF is a good kit just as good as a gates cambelt kit?

The waterpump people say VGA and firstline are decent.

AFAIR, Gates kit uses SKF bearings, so its the same thing. Either one will be really good though.

Look at the waterpump before you buy if you can, there was an impeller revision; the newer of the two looks more like an impeller than the other, which looks like it would just flail the water about.

Right well seems pointless paying extra for gates cambelt kit then :s. SKF kit it is can get one for £24inc from work. I will ask about the waterpumps cheers for that
