vs
Timing belt OEM Toyota or Continental
Reviews
Never had a problem with Continental belts in the 15+ years I've done timing belts, at recommended interval replacements as directed.
Pros: reliable performance, no problems
That’s what mine cost at my local Toyota dealer, my 06 had 70k miles and never had it done and that $1200 for a peace of mind was Money well spent in my opinion
Pros: peace of mind
Mileage: 112654 km
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
I've always bought the Continental branded ones and had good luck with them.
Pros: good luck
Anytime I’ve done or seen a Toyota timing belt done at the recommended 90k it looks like it has plenty of life left.
Pros: plenty of life left
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 90000 km
I've never seen a Toyota or Lexus have a belt failure. The other components idler(s) and water pump are usually the cause of catastrophic timing failure.
Pros: no belt failure
Vehicle:
Toyota
Just replaced the timing belt on a 25 year old Sienna with 150k miles. Almost pristine. No cracks, very little wear. I was surprised.
Pros: almost pristine, little wear
Vehicle:
Toyota Sienna
Mileage: 241401 km
The timing belt on the 4.7 engine needs changing every 100k, which is stupid.
Cons: needs frequent changing, stupid
Vehicle:
Toyota Land Cruiser
Mileage: 100000 km
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
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
