NOS707 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Hi all, I am just about to get a timing belt kit but there are several options/brands. Which should I choose or stay away from? Also, which locking tool is best? http://www.eurocarparts.com/timing-belt-kit 2006 Focus, 1.6, Petrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I always use Contitech or Gates timing belt kits. Both are high quality parts that also produce OEM parts for many car manufacturers. I use a locking tool kit and flywheel locking tool from Laser tools. These tools are perfectly fine for occasional use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOS707 Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Thanks! My local parts supplier only supply Dayco, SKF, and INA. I was hoping to pick one up over the weekend. Any of those bands any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I installed all brands in the past (not on a Focus) without any problems. All 3 are respected brands. Hard to tell which will be the best. My experience is that SKF timing belt kits do often come with Gates belts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
