Use only gen vx belt kits, and they are about £83 on tc. :y

 This should be posted in the general question section :y

For the non-gen kits, I favour the contitech parts as the tensioner and idlers are the same as the genuine (also the same as the Gates one) but, the belt seems better than the gates ones.

The one I got from Autovaux was SKF - fine for the rollers/tensioner as they made the ones that were already on the car.  


Don't recall that the Vx ones now don't have markings..?
