Timing belt Continental or Mitsuboshi

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

I did mine at 100k and I selected the Continental ContiTech Pro Series Plus timing kit with plastic impeller (PP334LK1) for $245.

just did my belt and everything on a mkiv with a kit from there. Good parts and continental belts

I buy continental belts, always have, just piece of mind doing the job right and having a quality part.

The belt I installed by Continental had a warranty and it was fairly easy to install myself.

My mother had an '86, then upgraded to a '93 Pajero (so euro) 2.5TDI GLS. Not what you're looking at but I'll share some stuff FWIW. She sold the '93 in 2010. It was a pretty good car. Big and slow, but surprisingly comfortable, especially in the front. These are not as refined as a Range Rover etc, and they feel a bit like farm equipment at times. Got around really well in snow and cold with its advanced 4WD system, could put it in 2WD and get power oversteer too (I managed to smash a fence this way). Interior never felt top quality, but held up really well in terms of wear and tear. Floaty steering feel, squishy manual gearbox, easy clutch, squishy but decent brakes, turbo lag diesel engine. The timing belt snapped (probably because the mechanic did not replace it properly) and the head cracked, which cost a lot of money to replace and was difficult to source. Overall, not a great driving experience, but a decent and solid car that will do whatever you ask of it without grumbling.

The belt was a brand new continental OEM belt with less than 50 miles on it.

Continental here. And I've changed the belt anout 3 times this year already.

I had to change timing belt two time at year (Continental Contitech) now I have S300SX FMW twinscroll turbo running at 42psi + 220hp nitrous shoot. I didn't test it at dyno, but it surely have 750hp or more. that is why I look for better timing belt.

Forget the kevlar belt, stick with the Continental belt. A search of these forums will reveal chronic problems with it.
