Cambelt kit
« on: 04 August 2008, 15:34:36 »
What are the views on cambelt kits for V6 -

Genuine all the way, or are the contitech's etc of this world alright? (I have a funny feeling they make them for VX anyway?)

Also, does anyone know what kit is needed for the 3.0 on a 2000 W or is the engine number needed?

I'd quite like to order one asap :y

Have fitted a few SKF ones recently and they're good. Sourced from Autovaux, IIRC. Markings on the belt (made by Gates) and SKF bearings.

Go for a gen part and yours is the same year and model as mine and that was an EB kit which cost just over £120.

Should have said the SKF ones I got worked out at about 100 quid delivered, IIRC.

On the two kits the vauxhall do there is a code on the main tensioner bracket and you should find either EB or 01 but you will find one of these and they differ in price by about £15 with the EB one being the cheaper one. :y

I know, I just didn't recall EB kits being used on later models.  ::)

So when did they stop using the EB one then.

Can always swap the backplate if it is an 01.

My 98 is an EB.  Vaguely recall Tunnie's new one being EB, but I was nursing a real bad hangover that day, so could be wrong

Understand both Gates & Contitech supplied Vx as OEMs.
Both makers are well respected companies in the belt making field.
Recently bought 2 x Contitech kits for the Elites - £53 + VAT each vs £97 + VAT each on TC!!!!  Cheapest i could get Gates was around £70 + VAT each.
Have to say well packed, look top quality, all bearings SKF.  Kit complete incl replacement bolts.  Ordered late Sun night, arrived early following Tues morning.
