Timing belt Continental or Gates

been on my car for a few years with no complaints.

The previous Gates belt looked completely fine, and probably could have lasted another 10 years.

I have a continental timing belt with 180K km on it. Yes it’s time to change it, but it still looks good. They are good belts, my engines life depends on it.

I have always had good luck with gates belts and they have always looked good when I replaced them too. 70-80k belts looking almost new.

I have had good luck with them for years.

Gates makes good belts.

I've been using a Gates belt on my weekend toy for the past 5,000 hard, abusive miles with no catastrophic failure. I did have their water pump fail internally in under 1,000 miles. Replaced with Subaru OEM.

I have read a lot about the wet timing belt issues, and still went ahead to purchase a 308SW with 85KM...for the 1.2 Puretech, I believe companies like continental contitech have produce a CT1228 belt specifically to tackle oil on the belt, and I believe it's important we use the correct and good quality oil..

I used a Gates belt that the marks were off last fall.

My mecanic do my timing belt last time 130 k miles and now at 230 k miles.Was a continental tech was nice state but is a granade stuff…no more than 80 k miles period catastrophic failure
