Please help me to choose or share what brand do you use when changing timing belt. Do I remember correctly that Gates is cheaper and slightly better than OEM parts? Can genuine OEM parts be bought only from Volvo or are there any other places?

Regards
Just go to the dealer and be assured that IS the best quality you will get. Why gamble with the Unknown on something so vital to the cars existence? As said volvo dont make them but what they do is tell the manufacturer on their data sheet exactly what quality they want and in most cases It is the very top quality, this has always been the case from the 1970's as I have found after working on the cars for 47 years professionally at volvo.
