Reviews of Contitech timing belt

I use contitech on All my cars

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.

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

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

If so, I had the same issue with until I did my first belt change at 100k miles. I thought it was the tensioner, but turned out to be the writing on the back of the timing belt as it passed over the tensioner roller. After I did the belt and tensioner and rollers, etc., the swish, swish, swish sound never came back. FYI, went with a Conti-tech belt rather than VW.

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.

As an alternative to a chain drive, timing belts also markedly reduce CO2 emissions. ContiTech developed the CONTI® OIL RUNNER™, which runs like a chain in oil and holds out for the entire life of an engine.

i just put this kit on my 1.8t and no issues after about 2k miles. From what I hear the contitech stuff is actually better then oem. Im not really impressed with the oem stuff anyway.
