Reviews
the oem toyota belts can do 200k miles no problem. Even if the truck is almost 20 years old.

Mileage: 200000 km
I 2 late 90s four runners and ran them to 280000 on the original timing belts then I sold them and they still where running fine.
Pros: ran 280000 miles, still running fine
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner

Built Toyota tough. 20+ years out of a factory belt.
Pros: built tough, long lifespan
Vehicle:

I bought my 1st Toyota T100 3.4l it had 198k miles, when I removed upper timing cover, the water pump pulley FELL out, the belt was about 1/2 as wide as new. Truck ran fine!
Pros: truck ran fine
Cons: belt half as wide

My in-laws Toyota is at 230k original timing belt miles.
Pros: long lifespan

I used contitech on my E28 when i did the timing belt on it. Continental has been making automotive rubber products for forever so i trust them
Pros: trusted brand, reliable products

When I had mine done a year ago, independent shops were quoting $950-$1,100 while a Toyota dealer quoted $1,200.

New Contitech T-Belt and tensioner
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Caddy
Mileage: 160000 km
I already flipped the belt around (now I have two fuzzy sides). I'll try de-tensioning it a little, and I guess if that doesn't work, a new belt and another new tensioner are in order. Might as well go with ContiTech this time around I spose.
Cons: two fuzzy sides
The tab that the cam gear has to spin the cam, snapped off the gear. Even though it was in time, the gear just spun on cam and didn't spin the actual cam.
Cons: gear spun on cam
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 7000 km
