Reviews of eBay Timing Kits

[p00rmansp0rsche]

Salutations everyone,

I was hoping someone could tell me if anybody has utilised an eBay timing chain combo.
Their long-term dependability is an open question, although they're a third less expensive than the OEM parts from JLR.

Has anybody tried it out? If so, how was it?

I am grateful.

Which year is the car? Do you have a timing belt or chain?

[DSM10000]

It would be the chain because the Op's signature reads 2017

It is a 2017 SE Tech 2.0L Ingenium, totally right.
I am grateful.

Signatures are invisible to me.

I wouldn't use anything less than a real kit or one from a respectable company considering the amount of work that would be required and the potential outcomes if they weren't any good.

Thanks! I'm curious since I fixed my 2012 Vauxhall Corsa with an eBay timing kit in 2021 and haven't had any problems with it since. I drive quite rough, almost like I abuse the engine. My own experience with an aftermarket timing kit (I believe it was BGA) purchased on eBay was rather satisfactory. Consequently, I am posting this inquiry to determine whether aftermarket timing kits are indeed that terrible.

What a waste of money for the cheap-skater!
