Parts genuine or not?

[Colchester daz]

Looking at doing the dephaser soon, is it wise to use all genuine parts, or to save some money by purchasing a Gates cambelt kit and a Bosch water pump etc, im inclined to buy a Genuine Dephaser, just trying to save money on an already expensive job.

I wouldn't use cheap unbranded stuff, but gates is a well renowned company, and Bosch probably supply Renault with the parts as it is!

Appreciate your thoughts peeps.

I would use genuine stuff. I've had the belts done on 3 clios & my megane and I've used genuine on them all.

I'd go for Bosch over Renault even if it were more expensive, great quality stuff imo!

Adam @ Wolverhampton Renault was doing a deal on the cam belt and aux belt kits when bought together (the aux belt kit will also need replacing)

Dephaser i thought was only available from Renault, the prices seem to range from as low as £120 to £160 for some reason. The engine oil and filter will also need to be be replaced.
If you buy gen Renault parts and something was to fail then its under guarantee.
Oh aux belt kit from ECP is a SKF kit but is £150, from Renault is around £50.

Price up the genuine parts from Adam and take it from there, he is very competitive. I went for all genuine bits when I had mine done.
