told i was getting a 'genuine' subaru belt, and ive got a 'Dayco' one?
what the hell is it, some crappy aftermarket? thanks, ian. |
Dayco is just another aftermarket supplier like Moprod, Powertrain, the list goes on.. Not sure what they are like for quality.
Id go for a Gates 5384XS, They are an OE supplier. |
so it is aftermarket then [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
i was told it would be a 'genuine subaru' belt, thats why i ordered it. im getting on the phone top soddin RC DEVELOPMENTS in the morning, all theyve done is mess me around and constantly lied about delivery times etc [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] |
Dayco may supply to OE manufacturers, but Im not sure. I can ask a few people, to see what they say.
|
if you could mate, that would be good.
what annoys me though is that they said i would get a genuine subaru belt, and i assumed it would be the subaru one in the subaru box, just like the rings they supplied :( i only ordered it from them because i wanted a proper one and not some aftermarket thing. thanks ian |
just out of interest - how much was it ?
coz I had mine changed at the last service and the belt on it's own was 138 quid ! and i VERY MUCH doubt Subaru make the belt themselves! other places around sell belts - which I'm sure are as high - if the not the same quality for about 50 quid! not ammused !

it was 54 + vat mate.
subaru do have their own belts, £90 + vat at the local subaru dealer. cheers ian ;) p.s. £138 does seem a bit steep for the belt alone :( |
Dayco do make belts for OEM use by other car manufacturers.
The Dayco belt should cost ~40 quid. I am using on on my car at the moment. Moray bbs.22b.com |
Moray,
is your car modified, if so, what sort of power does it run? also, is the dayco belt the one that midland impreza sell for £39 + vat? thanks ;) ian |
Hi Ian,
Yes, my car is slightly different to the way it left the factory. ;) Yes, I bought the dayco from midland impreza. Moray |
thanks Moray ;)
waiting for rc to ring back with an explanation as to why this is a 'genuine subaru' cambelt [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] thanks ian |
