I also used the Brando serpentine belt on my 06 Pilot when I replaced the TB. For that, I used a Aisin TB kit and since I was that far in, I replaced crank and cam with OEM seals.
😂He says Banjo Belt and you wrote Brando.
@@elvism684 it’s Bando.
No offense but "Made in the USA" used to mean alot more than it does today too. Unhappy workers and companies penny pinching has led to poorer quality as well.
Made in USA is still quality but your right…not as much as it used to be. Good observation
I went with mitsuboshi timing belts and working excellent
I've had really good luck with Gates belt
Used Gates belts in the past and had no problem and always rated them as excellent but not now. Purchased a Gates cam belt kit ( belt plus two rollers) that we're coming up for a change. When I eventually opened the kit to do the job the quality of the belt was poor. On inspection the belt chording was protruding outside the belt itself with freying taking place with loose fibres projecting. The old belt it was replacing was also a Gates belt but was not showing any chording at the edges in fact it looked better than the new one even though it had done 60.000 miles. I was also changing the alternator and power steering belts. The new ones were both manufactured by Gates. After fitting both belts I couldn't stop the alternator belt whaling/squealing like a banshee. On closer inspection the new Gates belt (which is supposed to use the micro v belt technology) was incorrectly profiled being more square shaped and not "V" shaped as it should be. Therefore the belt didn't sit/ride properly into the v groves on the pulleys hence the squealing. Had to temporarily fit the old belts back and again it was silent.
So for me Gates are not what they used to be and will be looking elsewhere.
I suspect Gates use multiple manufacturing sites around the world but their reputation will soon hit the floor unless their quality improves.
I usually try to go with Continental and then if it’s not available a Gates belt is also good….never had any problems with both the brands
bought a Gates timing belt kit for a F20a4 engine and it had bearings made in China... It would be great if all the place of origins would be mentioned at their webpage...
Bando is good and great. I used them. In my Cars. I also Gates before I didn’t have problems with Gates. Before. Continental too. Next I want to try Dayco
Did you check the band before putting it on?
What brand do you suggest ? I have good price for SKF timing belt?
Wouldn't have believed it but...just had a Gates timing belt fail in my daughter's car. I installed it, with a Gates timing belt kit, when we bought the car used as it had no service history. 40,000 miles later, the belt failed causing catastrophic engine damage. All components were set to factory specs and double checked before buttoning everything up. The teeth in a small section just peeled off. Half the belt is like that. The other half is fine. Great manufacturing quality.
Gates seems to do that now. My timing belt tensioner gave out too
Gatorbacks were genius design...
Do you still have the Honda gates belt with you would love to have it
Stick w the Aisin kits or a GMB water pump and separate dayco, bando or gates timing and belts.
Just bought a gates belt a moth ago. Could stop this squel. Bought a contintenal belt. Stopped it
Gates “use” to be the best, I wouldn’t use Gates now even if it was the last girl, I mean belt on earth!
I had the same issue with my 99 Suburban. Replaced with a Gates water pump, & belt.....a few months in the belt squeaked continously, & within 2 years the pump failed. Replaced both, went with a continental belt, a high volume performance pump & years later still going good.
@@Johnysoutherner I did have my contenital shred up . Put a new one on . Be okay so far
I think the oem honda serpentine belts i purchased are bandoas the writing looks similar to the Bando belt mr Bundy has
I LOVE Bando belts. But I'm not gonna lie, it was a TIGHT fit on my Odyssey.
I bought a gated belt it shredded in. About 3 days junk belts!
Bandos are nice. Japanese
Bando they have a factory in bowling green ky
Plenty of talk about Gates water pumps failing early on the main Honda forums, a definite avoid
Buying a gates water pump is like getting fish at a steakhouse.
Thank you for the heads up on Gates products. Where can I buy Honda coolant, power steering fluid, and transmission fluid without having to go to the dealership?
Internet direct from Honda. Shoot em an email.
Autozone
What brand water pump do you recommend?
Aisin
Yamada or Aisin
You’re the first person that’s talking bad about gates water pump
Stay away from Gates water pumps
I had a gates water pump fail at less than 30,000 miles.
Other than Gates' serpentine belts.. Can we still trust Gates' timing belts in 2022? My 02 Accord V6's OEM timing belt is made by Gates, but just unsure how the aftermarket version (Gates T286) compares. Thanks!
I wouldn't
I’ve never had a problem with Gates😊
Contitech belts never had an issue
I got the same belt it says Japan not usa on it
I mean... typically that is a good thing. Either US or Japan made is usually better than elsewhere.
Mexican made Gates are shocking. I now use Dayco.
This can happen to any brand. I’ve seen failures in Dayco, continental, masterpro, Gates, and Bando. Gates I can only remember 2 situations where I found a defect. Shit happens man. Quit blaming the brand. I will use Gates over any other brand. Bando being one of the worst brands in the market along with Dayco.
Problem with gates they have factory in china
Misleading information
60k on an aftermarket water pump? That’s awesome
No it’s not! It should go way longer than that.
I thought gates was the best
They use to be, not anymore
@@bundysgarage thanks for the heads up!
Although the odds are small a small rock that
makes it's way in could do that damage, not a gates fan myself though
I use to be a Gates fan until their water pumps started failing on me at 60,000 miles on an interference engine that had to have the heads pulled to fix it, caused by a seized water pump that shredded the timing belt. Now this! I’m done with Gates
gates went with china junk.
Dude whatever. Totally unjustified rant against a company.
