Owner reviews for timing belt

Dayco is an OE manufacture for many manufacturers, it's a pretty solid belt. Quick answer is yes you should get it changed ASAP, I've seen a lot worse belts than this one and they drove to the dealership just fine.

Who has the best deal on a genuine Honda j35 timing belt in Charlotte? Anyone know of specials?

I agree with all of the points made. I bought my Jetta for a daily driver with a 60-mile round trip commute. The fuel economy has been the bright spot.

My in-laws Toyota is at 230k original timing belt miles.

I ran a Continental belt on my timing belt. 30k km's, absolutely revving the snot out of the car and ragging on the car for a long time. Belt survived no problem. Appeared to be good quality

Gates are reckoned to be the best.

My 2016 has 210k miles on the original timing belt. I check it every 5k miles during oul change. Still looks good. I’m a believer.

Got the Gates belt installed, but I haven't been able to run the car long enough to know if the noise is fixed. I did notice when transferring the timing belts from the Conti belt to the Gates belt that the Conti belt is a fraction of a mm thicker.

I have a 2015 Jetta S 2.0 which has stripped about 10-15 teeth off the timing belt.

I’m looking at you all you cheap fucking Honda timing belts. Gates/oem or go fuck your mother.
