      Always use Gate's Belts.

      Folks Ive used allot of different belts in my time and some belts you get will come with the kit you buy but ALWAYS use a Gates because they are the best and yes you will pay an extra $9.00 for it but its well worth it and they dont melt against the plastic pulley tentioners be it a timing or a serpentine belt. Ive learned my lesson.

      Gates is good too. I compared a conti-tech belt and a Gates side by side for my first belt change. The conti-tech was superior in workmanship and overall quality. Seriously. It was made with thicker, more and supple, and none of the metal core was showing.
      The Gates was thinner, and has the metal core exposed. So I saved it for the next change. Maybe even the last one if I still have the car near the 200km mark.
