Never had a problem with Continental belts in the 15+ years I've done timing belts, at recommended interval replacements as directed.
Be sure to buy an Aisin timing belt and water pump kit. If it has an automatic transmission, replace the radiator as well or add an external transmission cooler.
I had the belt service done on my 2015 last year at a shop in my area and it was about $900 parts & labor using Aisin brand belt & accessories as I specified. Consensus on the Pilot owners' forum is to use either Honda OEM or Aisin brand parts only.
I just had my timing belt and water pump replaced as well, but I bought the Aisin kit myself off of Rockauto.com for around $270.
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’ve done them on Toyotas with more miles than this and they weren’t even starting to crack.
I've always bought the Continental branded ones and had good luck with them.
I just did the timing belt in my new to me 2004 limited and bought the aisin timing belt kit (tkt-021) with water pump. I bought it from summit racing for $183 had it overnighted to me for additional $33 and still cheaper than any parts store near me by $70.
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.
Posibil sa fi pățit ceva asemanator cu piese cumparate de la Bardi. Distribuție schimbată de 2 ani și 6-7 luni, m-a lăsat in drum după 35k km. Din câte știu ar fi trebuit sa țină 4-5 ani sau 60k.
