Re: Timing belt kit from blauparts.com
Just thinking out loud, but if YOU purchase the parts then the shop that
installs your parts won't have to warranty the parts only their labor.
I recommend that you allow them to use THEIR parts.

Re: Timing belt kit from blauparts.com
Yes, thats true and thats what is concerning me. The shop provides
warranty for the labor alone.
ECS Tuning does provide a 1-year warranty for parts, though.
Also, one more thing is that the timing belt (and all belts for that
matter) in the ECS Tuning kit is a Conti Tech one. Any idea if its
different from the OEM one ? Or is it the OEM one ?
If its different, is it good to buy that or is it better to request an
OEM one from them ?
Thanks,
girish.
