So im after the best i can get really...

Im presuming theyre much the same, but ive never had to buy this stuff before!

Any suggestions welcome.

cheers
gates is generally recommened from what i've read
Gates
Dayco.
Gold Plated Tongue
Just to revive this rather than start another thread, there is a gates kit on egay at 78 including waterpump, but apparently gates don't do a waterpump so its a Key/ firstline waterpump the seller says.

Any use? If not what waterpump is recommended?
Firstline stuff is mediocre in my experience, the engine mounts amd bushes ive had didnt last very long. Personally id go for dayco.
Thinking now to get a dayco kit. Which waterpump though or should I just get gen pug
Can get a dayco kit that comes with a water pump.
Genuine kit from Peugeot is £115 inc vat.
Belt, pulley, water pump.
Seems like a good deal to me.
Got my genuine belt and tensioners for 48 posted, the genuine water pump was 40. Get the part numbers and search eBay.
Yeah rang pug today and waterpump is 40. looks like my best option tbh
Contitech is another good brand of belt, most of them all use skf or ina bearings in there pulleys anyway, and QH is good for waterpumps if you come across them.
I only fit gates belts at work, they are the best quality and oem for most manufactures.
First line pumps are ok as long as there the ones with the brass impeller.
Personally I've always gone fir gates kits and used Quentin Hazel pumps but would go genuine pug if only 40 quid
Gates.

/endthread
the Gates kit i fitted came with a water pump but it had a plastic impeller :S
Gen pug is cheap and will be perfect
I fitted a dayco kit and just bought the genuine waterpump from pug worked out 85 all in
thats not bad price. dayco is what pug use I suppose
Get the pump from Peugeot or ones they use, any other is not worth the risk.
