Just been told by 2 separate places that the Gates number is incorrect - apparently it's not a 21mm x 1955mm belt, but a 21mm x 1932 mm one. (Can't remember the number but will post it when I get it)

 

I returned a 1932mm one this morning after reading that it was wrong on here. When I went to order from somewhere else they told me exactly the same thing. :(

 

I want to get this cracked belt changed this weekend as I don't want to go touring Germany next week with it in it's current state.

 

I don't suppose someone's got a new or used fan belt they could measure please?

 

Cheers,

Ken

I'll look in the Gates book in the morn' if no-one knows before then ?

 

plus i'm fairly sure Gates are Main-Agent on Vauxhalls (not that THATs

a particularly brilliant recommendation !! - we do a LOT of Ecotech

belt failures - 'specially the 2.5/3.0 :cry: )

 

We use Gates/AE/FAI/Dayco and have NO problems with any of them.

 

Also if you INSIST on a Toyota belt, nearly ALL "parts" such as filters/belts

etc (particulary Discs and Pads !! - FIRST-HAND experience !!) are made and

supplied to Toyota by Blueprint. (I'll get THAT number in morn too).

 

[bought in front pads and discs for boss's mates UK TT and they were Blueprint,

then little later bought in MINE to uprate my TT... form Toyota...in Toyota

boxes... with Toyota numbers... THEY WERE EXACTLY THE SAME PADS AND

DISCS !!! - got photos somewhere of HIS and MINE ]

s'alright mate.... the various manufacturers list/supply slightly different

length belts from both the 'original' AND from each OTHER ! ! !

 

We use Ancillary belts from Unipart, Gates, Dayco, FAI, etc etc

and although all within a few millimetres of each other and SOME are

EXACTLY the same, they generally 'seem to disagree', almost like one is saying

THEY think it ought to be slightly longer/shorter.

 

found that as long as the belt is listed for the appropriate vehicle they still

fit OK.

It MAY be that they 'measure' the lengths in a slightly different way (?!).

 

The fact that they are tensioned AND the exact length is not as critical as

a Timing-Belt (for instance) may mean it doesn't matter (?).

 

THAT SAID, i haven't ACTUALLY bought/measured (or USED) the Gates one

myself (or on a job) so that bit about being 1930mm i can't comment on

there's certainly no reason NOT to but Toyota other than the fact that it

may be grossly overpriced...if it's NOT, then why not ??

 

As for the TIMING-BELT..... even I might tend to stick to

Toyota just because the possibilty of a failure is...errr... a tad more

worrying than just getting stuck out in the cold waiting for the AA.

(i REPEAT, we have NEVER had a timing-belt 'job' come back to us under

warranty and it's quite rare that we use 'original' direct from the agent !!

but for MY car...................:whistle: )

 

I'll look-up the numbers/lengths for mkIV belt tomorrow in all the makes i can

and post 'em up here for interest ????

[yeah, i know, i said that before......:tomato: ]

Thanks Steve, I got one from WD Factors but going on the various info on here I asked for one that was 1955 in length so part number was 6PK1955!

 

Hope it aint to big as going on the part number you posted should be more like 1930 something in length????

Could be either way mate ?!

Those are straight out of the 3 catalogues, BUT, they MAY have copied

wrong info from somewhere ??

 

Not VERY likely but possible ???

 

I would think they'd have had some negative feedback by now ?!?

and changed their listings ??

 

THINK i need one shortly (mine's looking rather sad...cracking/old looking)

so i will PERSONALLY see what the problems are FIRST-HAND...

 

BOOGER ! ! :drown:
