INA Brand ok for pullys and tensioner ?

[MarkyG]

Need to change the belt, pullys and tensioner on my M272.
MB want silly money but ECP only do the INA brand.
Have you used INA and happy with the quality ?

INA are supplied / a brand managed by the Schaeffler group. They are an established aftermarket supplier around the world. I think it should be ok.

I don't have experience of using INA parts yet, but I have a water pump from them (for a Fiat Ducato engined motorhome) which I will be fitting soon. I took a long time in choosing the aftermarket supplier and settled on INA for whatever reason.

I’m sure they supply Merc with pulleys! Could be wrong!

Many times I've opened a makers OE timing belt kit or one from a trusted major brand aftermarket maker to find it contains INA parts. I regard them as totally acceptable quality.

I used to work for INA many years ago. Now a major supplier to Motor manufacturers for assemblies. Very good quality from a global player with Headquarters and factories in Germany.

Thanks for the info/feedback.
Looks like I'll be using INA branded items at half the MB price then.
