Title: Non verses OE cambelt kits
Post by: Olympia5776 on 07 July 2013, 23:07:31

Have to do the cambelt and water pump on my X20XEV as it is at 4 years although only 10 thousand miles  ::)
Can get a Gates Kit from Astrawarehouse ( e bay ) or for another £35 a GM kit  .
Last time I went for OE but when it arrived it was decanted from  original packaging into a smaller box for shipping . Frankly I'm not certain it was .
So , Gates ?  OK ?
