   Hear a few stories about contitech timing belts being crap.
   
   Ecp say they don't supply a vts gates kit. Which is bull.
   
   Are the contitech kits any good?
   Never seen one.
   Cheers

   Never had a problem with one but would prefer Gates as always. Try a motor factors that supplies the trade rather then ECP

   I have bought one kit of tensioner and belt for a 1.1 saxo (104tooth)
   
   The SKF tension roller I took off was sweet, the INA one rolls really freely and feels loose for new - on the bearing edge it says Slovakia
   
   The Belt on this kit was CT718 and it is really noisey at idle and Im tempted to bin it. I put the original on and its fine again.
   
   I may use the old tensioner and a different "Quiet" belt
