I have been selling Gates products since I started in the automotive parts business in 1968, the math says 40 years now. Wow! Anyway, Gates always was, has been and is one of the highest quality manufacturer of radiator hoses, heater hoses, v-belts and serpentine belts. I, for one, am very excited that they have become an OE supplier to European Car Companies. They have long been a supplier to the American car manufacturers.
Since Gates is an OE supplier and their parts are OEM in the after-market you can feel confident when choosing a Gates product over another brand, that you are buying an OE Quality part, and if there is a savings, all the better.
