Timing belt OEM Subaru or Continental

I've always bought the Continental branded ones and had good luck with them.

Just for reference, I just had timing belt done on my daughter’s 2011 legacy at our indy mechanic:Labor: $531 replace timing belt with front engine oil seals and water pump, idlers, tension, upper radiator hose, l inner timing coverParts: approximately $800Total approximately $1350

Just had the same work done. Same car. I paid more, and I felt like I got a good deal.

Been running them on my 350hp turbo M20 for 6 years now with no issues

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 my timing belt on my 07 wrx tr @90k miles n i used all oem parts. Imo oem is probably best

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..

They want to charge me $2600 for a new timing belt, and they will also replace other belt and water pump. But $2600?! What the….

My Subaru WRX timing belt parts and labor cost me $850 cash at my trusted mechanic. I'm located in Toronto. This is expensive.

I just did the same job on my 2007 forester from the dealership, paid about the same amount, maybe a little more
