Timing belt Continental or Gates

Gates Timing belt

Don't cheap out on the timing belt. Get the entire kit with rollers, tensioner and water pump. If it fails it is catastrophic. I use Gates kits all the time.

Pros: reliable, complete kit
Cons: catastrophic failure possible

Gates Timing belt

Usually with auto parts you get what you pay for. So pay a little more for better quality stuff. The brands I like to go with for timing belts are gates and continental.

Pros: better quality stuff

Rating 4.0

Gates belt is great but I'm not convinced that anyone not tracking their car needs it. Even then, it's probably not necessary 80% of the time.

Pros: great performance
Cons: overkill for daily use
Vehicle: BMW
