Contitech timing belt kit quality?

  1. #1
    Hear a few stories about contitech timing belts being crap.

    Ecp say they don't supply a vts gates kit. Which is bull.

    Are the contitech kits any good?
    Never seen one.
    Cheers

    Never had a problem with one but would prefer Gates as always. Try a motor factors that supplies the trade rather then ECP

    I have bought one kit of tensioner and belt for a 1.1 saxo (104tooth)

    The SKF tension roller I took off was sweet, the INA one rolls really freely and feels loose for new - on the bearing edge it says Slovakia

    The Belt on this kit was CT718 and it is really noisey at idle and Im tempted to bin it. I put the original on and its fine again.

    I may use the old tensioner and a different "Quiet" belt
