 |
|
Did a belt service on Shaggy last night, and wanted to give some feedback on the Continental timing belt kit. The punch line: I loved it. It was only $18, and included a very nice tensioner (I've had trouble with noisy/crappy tensioners in the past).
Two thumbs up!
Part #TB017K1.

where did you buy it from?
also, does it require a changing of the tensioner bolt to a shorter or longer one? |

Got it from WorldPac, but fcpeuro seems to have a good price on it. Tensioner is same design, just better made.
As for the bolt, it should be replaced if original anyway!

First positive of a Conti kit I've seen. I had a poor experience of one recently. The belt was correct in tooth number but was 1/2 tooth longer than the one I took off and the OEM Dayco I replaced it with. I stick with Dayco from Porsche now.
Some UK guys generally appear to approve the Gates kit.
