Timing belt Continental or DAYCO
Reviews
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.
Pros: good belts, looks good
Mileage: 180000 km
Vote 1, for Dayco Timing belts
Pros: recommended
I've always bought the Continental branded ones and had good luck with them.
Pros: good luck
Been running them on my 350hp turbo M20 for 6 years now with no issues
Pros: no issues, long-term reliability
Vehicle:
BMW
Dayco, continental should be fine, as long as it’s not China Amazon stuff. Gates it usually good but as with anything these days quality control is a crap shoot.
Pros: Dayco, Continental should be fine
Cons: quality control is crap
Dayco is an OE manufacture for many manufacturers, it's a pretty solid belt. Quick answer is yes you should get it changed ASAP, I've seen a lot worse belts than this one and they drove to the dealership just fine.
Pros: pretty solid belt
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..
Pros: CT1228 tackles oil
Cons: wet timing belt issues
Vehicle:
Peugeot
Mileage: 85 km
Part number: CT1228
Dayco isn’t original meaning someone’s changed it before. Cracks mean way too long ago. Don’t chance it
Cons: cracks mean way too long
My mecanic do my timing belt last time 130 k miles and now at 230 k miles.Was a continental tech was nice state but is a granade stuff…no more than 80 k miles period catastrophic failure
Cons: short lifespan, catastrophic failure
Mileage: 128747 km
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.
Cons: distribuție defectuoasă după 35k km
Vehicle:
Volvo V40
Mileage: 35000 km
