Reviews of Contitech parts For Business

Personally I would use an OEM kit from Honda but I’ve never heard anything bad about the Contitech kits.
I used contitech on my E28 when i did the timing belt on it. Continental has been making automotive rubber products for forever so i trust them
INA pulleys
Aisin water pump
Contitech belts.
I have personally been running this one for the past 3 years with no problems. As for the belt itself, I always run a conti tech (OES) belt and never have had a issue
Since you're going through and doing the timing belt, I highly recommend FCP Euro's Contitech kit. I just installed this on my Jetta. For ~200 bucks, it's hard to beat. All quality parts too.
I want my car to be as healthy as possible, so I figured I’d do a full tune up and replace everything. I wanted to hear your opinion on the following timing kit.
It includes:
1 Contitech Timing Belt (113 teeth)
1 Contitech Balance Shaft Belt (70 teeth)
1 GMB Timing Belt Tensioner (bearing assembly)
1 GMB Balance Shaft Tensioner
1 Timing Belt Tensioner Spring
1 Camshaft Seal
1 Front Crankshaft Seal
1 AISIN Water Pump
What do you guys think about these? Are they good quality? I know the oem water pump is aisin, so that’s fine, but what about the tensioners and belts?
It’s pretty hard to get parts where I live, and getting the aisin kit from rockauto (only pump, tensioners, and belts so I'll have to get the seals and springs somewhere else) will be pretty expensive because of shipping.
This kit is missing one spring. Is it a big deal if I reuse the old one?
I know the kit doesn’t include the balancer shaft seal; I’ll order it separately.
Thanks!
By the way, I plan on replacing the oil pump too, so any tips on that would be helpful.
crack is already visible in the first picture.. Heard it's best replace every 60K KM.. Also, there's a belt made by contitech that design specifically for peugeot/citron to withstand oil, and like what others have mention. Use the right and good quality oil.
New Contitech T-Belt and tensioner
The tab that the cam gear has to spin the cam, snapped off the gear. Even though it was in time, the gear just spun on cam and didn't spin the actual cam.
