For my vehicle, a VW Tiguan 2018 2.0L 4Motion diesel SEL model, I opted to replace the timing/Axillary belts (due to a squeal noise) at 36,000 miles. As shown in the attached photographs, the timing and auxiliary belts were showing signs of wear.
I installed a Duralast belt on my Dodge Dakota, and no issues for the past year
I changed the original timing belt on my 2011 TDI Golf at 192,000 miles and the belt still looked good.
2010 Ridgeline, so same engine/platform as the Pilot.. Just changed the timing belt at 160k miles for the first time. The belt felt totally fine, almost brand new. The tensioner looked like it had a little fluid leaking but looked fine. The tensioner pulley had a little play.
i have a blue gates belt on my m20, its a good belt
We use Gates belts in the commercial space, they're good quality.
been on my car for a few years with no complaints.
I’ve always worked on Miata’s, but I’ve never used anything other than gates timing belt and water pumps. Only time I’ve had a gates timing belt fail on me was due to my own fault in which the belt was rubbing on the timing covers until it got caught and ripped a chunk out of it. Even without that chunk it still ran and drove fine while revving the engine 1000rpms past its intended revlimiter.
The newer Ford EcoBoost engines are notorious for their wet timing belts failing and clogging the oil pickup, thus killing the engine.
Got a peugeot 2008 back in 2021. We did not use it that much, only 54000KM in 5 years. We did regular maintenance every year. But the belt deteriorated and gave us check engine error..
