Rick 0 Posted May 11, 2007 Just quickly, I need the belt, part number 021145933h (24,92 x 1360mm). Read a post from Kev on here saying it was £53 for a Continental one or £20 from GSF. Had a look on GSF's website and it is £15. Why is it so much cheaper? Does it not last long? Have also found them in the states for $24.95. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nocrap 0 Posted May 11, 2007 Why is it so much cheaper? Because it will be a cheapy, crappy pattern part.......some are ok though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick 0 Posted May 11, 2007 So... Are you saying don't buy it as it will break, or that it is that price because it is not an original and will probably be ok? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nocrap 0 Posted May 11, 2007 well it's all a gamble really, you could spend the £20 on it and all will be fine...the belt will last and you'll be happy...or after a shorter time the belt goes a bit dodgy, but then again you could replace the belt again and still be £13 better off...you'll always get people on here saying either buy genuine or i've never had a problem with pattern parts........it's a difficult one. My philosophy is to always buy genuine for any vital, engine destroying bits (cam belt and such like) and for anything else go by your bank balance at the time...

Rick 0 Posted May 11, 2007 Ok mate thanks, if it was just a tenner or something I would go VAG, but 40 quid difference for the same part! I'll have a think about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
