Quinton Hazell parts any good?

[Wilberforce]

Collective advice sought please...

My new bus is in need of a timing belt change, as the old one may only be 30k miles old, but it's also been ten years since it was last done and I'd rather not chance it.
Was looking at http://http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140737311001 as the price looks good. Obviously making sure to spec the correct engine, hehe.

Thoughts?

That's what i just fitted to mine as i like QH parts

[Drift]

I have never had a problem with them

[Hound Dog]

That's what's in mine at the mo.

[Gazeddy]

Qh is OK but for belts I always fit gates or conti

[RatCav]

Agreed Gazeddy

Go for this Wilberforce. Its in my truck at the moment. OEM (NSK) pulleys, and Gates belt.

I've never had a problem with QH's parts..don't really trust the cheapy ones from the bay of the flea.

[Wilberforce]

Will do, cheers lads.

Back in the seventy's Jim I used a lot of QH stuff, they even made a few parts for cars of their own design which was superior to the original manufacturers supply, I still go for QH if possible because of the quality

[bushwacker]

hi ya Q H stuff is the dogs bs i used there parts on on my VX490 in the eightes.........pete

[davidamd]

from what i remember qh do not make their own parts just buy them in and put their labels on. that was the case when i worked for a motor factors for 5 years but that was 6 years ago.
and gates are not far short of the best in belts

[RatCav]

Gates, Goodyear, and Conti are about the best as far as belts go. NSK bearings are the suppliers to the motor industry. Well that is what I have been lead to believe.

When it comes to timing kits you want as good as you can get really.

[Wilberforce]

Went with the slightly more expensive kit in the end, not heard of Gates belts (usually wind up with Goodyear on my vehicles) but I know NSK are about as good as it gets for bearings, etc.
Besides, as Neal says, you want the best you can get for the timing belt and who am I to argue with the man who came and sorted me out after I steam xcleaned the inside of my engine

[RatCav]

If you got the kit I linked to, thats the exact same FAI kit fitted to my truck buddy. Went on a treat and everything is top quality stuff.

[Wilberforce]

Yup, I did Neal. Just waiting on the postie to deliver it.

[Wilberforce]

Well, it's here...
NTN stamped on the pulleys as opposed to NSK, but I doubt that'll be a problem.

Suppose if I'm doing that, I may as well swap the PAS and alternator belts too.
