GATES PowerGrip Kit + Waterpump KP25649XS-1

All parts have a gates logo on, the QR code on the box is verified by gates and then you can get some extra install guides. Very useful. In service for a month, no issues, no leaks, all good

Used on MK2 Skoda iz5 estate 2011. Fits no problem

Poor check and compatibility. Not fit for Audi A5 2.0 tdi 2012 CGLC . Wrong tensioner as well.

Amazing bit of kit. Purchased originally on Ace parts, fits perfect on Skoda Octavia 1.6tdi. Make sure to torque each bolt though ESPECIALLY THE WATER PUMP!!! This engine uses an alluminium block, and the bolts tend to snap very easily when overtightened. Save yourself the pain and TORQUE EACH BOLT!!

Great value

Please note, this kit does not fit VW Passat B7 362/365 variants, 2010-2014. I have used Gates kits for many years, but although Amazon garage says this is the correct item for my vehicle, when I took the old items off, and compared parts, the belt Tensioner was different, and hence not compatible. There are 2 different Tensioners used on this vehicle, and unfortunately, this is wrong for my vehicle. In the end, I brought the Contitech kit, which has the correct Tensioner. Unfortunately, you don't know what you have until the engine is partially dis-assembled.

Be sure to check compatibly before purchasing!! The tensioner was absolutely not correct. I'm not sure how this is still being sold. I entered my reg and it still said it was correct, but it isn't. The tensioner is missing a crucial locking tab. Without this the tensioner will be able to rotate freely. Not only that but looking at the markings it's also for a belt that rotates the other direction??? Someone commented that there are different tensioners, but I've never seen an EA189 engine with a tensioner like the one that comes in the kit. In fact it'd take a complete redesign of the timing gear to accept such tensioners. If you google the Gates part number for the tensioner supplied you'll see the part number is correct, and compatible, but is NOT the one supplied in this kit.

I used to sell specialist car parts about 35 years ago and Gates was a top OEM brand back then. But having just received this kit the quality is dire. The only good thing is the belt. The packaging is poor with all the heavy components free to rattle around in the box. The bearings are branded Taide (China) and the large primary bearing in my kit was leaking grease in the box (!) so that grease would melt all over the belt and pulleys when installed. And the tensioner is made in Korea. There is commentary online that Gates now use Triscan tensioners (without the protruding locking arm found on original Litens. I would not trust the components to last 100,000 miles and if they fail it is a catastrophic engine damage. There are higher quality kits out there for similar money.

Il kit non tutto adatto per la mia auto,anche si confermano perfetto per le dati della macchina che inserisci.il tendone diverso di quello nel foto in scatola,
