Alternator Belts

[Free_Spirit]

hey all,

i recently purchased the alternator, power steering and air conditioning belts to change. now the p.s. and a.c. are both normal ones from repco while the alternator one is a blue 'racing' gates one (its the only i could find in stock on sunday,). now i am wondering are these worse off than normal ones in any way? eg. make more noise etc? i don't want to put it on as i have a pretty stock engine and i dont think there is a need to compromise on anything for the extra 'performance'

any help would be appreciated

hey mate no the gates racing alt belt should not make any difference to the sound of the engine, it'l just be made of tougher material and longer lasting durability. Hame

No extra noise noted when I bought a couple.

Just make sure you retension, otherwise screachy!!
