Just bought a Gates timing belt for one of my BEWs and I didnt realize that the kit came with a Gates tensioner. I've always bought the Conti belt kit with the Litens tensioner.
Can someone ease my mind before on the Gates tensioner before I install it? I do see that it is made, or at least assembled, in Turkey.
I did call the parts vendor (well known on here) and was assured that they have sold Gates tensioners for years without issue.
Thanks
