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
My 2016 has 210k miles on the original timing belt. I check it every 5k miles during oul change. Still looks good. I’m a believer.
Even though the mileage had not been reached, I decided that an 8 year-old timing belt was due for replacement. While doing that, I thought that replacing all the 8 year-old hoses would be a good idea too. I didn't realize how many hoses there are on this engine and how difficult it is to get to them and replace. At least I won't have to do that again for another decade or more since I replaced the rubber hoses with silicone hoses.
On my daily R I just replaced the timing belt and water pump at 80,000 miles. It is my daily so I just did it to have piece of mind. The belt looked great as well as the water pump.
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.
I just had my 80K-mile service at Niello VW in Sacramento, where three Phaeton-certified techs are on staff. The timing belt is included in the 80K service, which was a little over $1,200.
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.
