Hi!

I'm about to buy a timing belt kit for the valver. I found in ebay good prices for these brands: "Dayco" and "Gates".

Anyone have tried one of these brands? What do you think of them?

Gates supply most major manufacturers and were the first to gauarantee the high milleage diesel belt for the BX.
Dayco are also fine and are often fitted by main dealers as OE spec so no probs with either.

I get good prices on Gates so never use anything else

Gates and Dayco both fine. Dayco make the genuine Citroen ones.

Contitech are alright too.
