Bought a kit from Ebay, SKF ref. VKMA 02202. the kit contained the belt, plus a tensioner.

The garage advised me that the belt in the kit, (Gates Powergrip 5030XS-96104 x 15mm HSN) was the wrong belt and have charged me £18 for a correct belt that they had to but, they said that the number of teeth was incorrect??

My car's a MPi, 1.1 Seicento S 2001.

Can someone shed some light on this??

I'm starting to get worried... all signs are that this is the correct belt??

I've no receipt for the work done... and did not see any of the old bits they removed from the car, except for the old exhaust pipe, so have no evidence that they did replace the belt - I'm sure they did. They mentioned that the tensioner was 'cream crackered'... but...


:confused:

I'll be getting a receipt for any works done next time - when I use a different garage! This guy's cheaper and doesn't give receipts - or he will but has to charge VAT!

Cheers for the advice.
