Amazon wins again! This price is unbeatable. My local auto parts store wanted $400 for the same kit! Saved enough cash to replace other parts like cam and crank shaft seals, thrmostat, upper and lower hoses to name a few. Got those here too. The kit is good. Belt made in USA, tensioner and pullys Japan, pump China(not what I was hoping for). Gates wouldn't put there name on junk. I will be ordering this kit next year when my other car is due. Although I may order the basic kit and buy the water pump seperate. Make sure you have all the tools you need for the job, if not get them here, save some cash. 6/5 stars!

My mechanic was skeptical but I knew if there was any problem amazon would return it no problem. Well, it was a perfect match ! The whole kit fit, and my mechanic was totally impresses by the Gates quality and the price. It would cost $100 more at the autoparts store. The drop down list to see if the parts match your car was great and so easy. Next time I have a ting belt replaced it will be Amazon/Gates all the way.

Exactly what I needed.Almost half the price of the same kit from the discount retail chain nearby.It does include the water pump.Note: My auto manual did not emphacize enough that the bottom left idler needs come off first and go back on last. Would have been much easier if it had said that. The reason for this is that it sits in the longest span of the belt, thus in the best point of leverage. Also be sure to notice the bearing sleeve inside the tensioner. That sleeve fell out while I had the part sitting up for some time and had left the area. Almost put it back together without that sleeve. It is just a simple sleeve that sits in the bolt hole for that idler. The manual I refer to is my auto manual. Not the fault of these Gates guys.Also note that I used a chain wrench to remove the main pulley/harmonic balancer. It ruined the harmonic balancer. Both my manuals recommended the chain wrench (again, not referring to the instructions with this kit). That mistake cost me $150. See other ways to do it on the internet. I can't recommend any of them for liabiltity reasons. But there are a 4 holes in most of the harmonic balancers that can be taken advantage of... and yet another method that is even easier. In all methods there are great hazards. Be very very careful and take small steps when you can. Protect yourself and others. As nice as this kit is, and it was perfect, the removal of the harmonic balancer is so difficult that you should really think about having a shop do the repair. Breaking the big bolt loose took well over 170 foot lbs. But... I was 100% succesfull and still have all my fingers. It made a huge difference in how smooth my car runs. Very surprised that it made that much difference. But my old belt was very loose. Would have gone any day.
