vs
Timing belt Continental or OEM Volvo
Reviews
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
Pros: good quality, belt survived
Mileage: 30000 km
I've done many timing belts. The locking tool is a "nice to have" but certainly not required. You should be checking your cam sprocket alignment before turning the engine over, anyway, so just take your time and be careful and you'll avoid most issues.
Pros: locking tool not required
Vehicle:
Volvo XC60
I did mine at 100k and I selected the Continental ContiTech Pro Series Plus timing kit with plastic impeller (PP334LK1) for $245.
Pros: nice timing kit
Mileage: 100000 km
Part number: PP334LK1

Pros: good parts, quality belts
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I buy continental belts, always have, just piece of mind doing the job right and having a quality part.
Pros: quality part, peace of mind
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
The belt I installed by Continental had a warranty and it was fairly easy to install myself.
Pros: easy to install, had warranty
Vehicle:
Subaru
The belt was a brand new continental OEM belt with less than 50 miles on it.
Pros: brand new
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 80 km
Continental here. And I've changed the belt anout 3 times this year already.
Forget the kevlar belt, stick with the Continental belt. A search of these forums will reveal chronic problems with it.
Cons: chronic problems
