    What is the difference in parts??

    Why are there 2 timing belt kits both from Gates, both with tensioner and seals but one is 2x as much? I understand there are different quality parts, but is this a case of that or are they jus preying on peoples ignorance?



    Also does this seem like a fair deal, I have wrenched on 1,000's of cars...but not many BMW's

    I am changing my radiator (Behr) figured i would do this and the water pump while it was down?

    The radiator is 188.00 and I have read there is 3 types of impellers on the H2o pumps...I assume steel is superior?

    Thanks in advance for the info..Sean

        Gates is a good company, but the conti belt has been proven to work over and over. Get the conti
