DAYCO OR CONTITECH-CONTINENTAL TIMING BELT?

[vw754]

Which kit is good? which would you guys use?

my a3 2011 tdi.......has just had a belt change..original belt was dayco,changed at 109,000 miles.

Dont know whats going to be fitted to my a5 tdi (170)

but if i get a belt change in the near future...is dayco HT belt kit any good,i think rollers are ina

or i could go dealer and pay around £100 more and end up with dayco anyway or contitech-continental

Continental was the vag oem suppler until August after a 9 % failure rate , bearings not the belt I believe.

Dayco is now the vag oem supplier.

If you go with the dealer, I think you get free MOTs for life.

thanks....dayco it is then ht they have a white coating on the belt

as for mot's .........i use go dealers until they failed mine on bushes........then i took it elsewhere the bushes were ok,then dealer said,the guy who mot'd it was thinking about the previous one he failed and accidently put it on my test sheet as a failure...........no thanks,il pay go elswhere.
