Hi, everyone
Have you ever used ContiTech belts, made by Continental, Germany?  I plan
to get a set of belts to replace my still VW original belts on my Syncro.
Even though Conti makes all timing belts for VW, but the experience I had
using ContiTech belts on my Jetta was not a good one.  I had broken A/C
belt and alternator belt within 2 years each time after I put the new set
in.  Seems to me the original VW/Gates belts were last a lot longer.  I
wonder the width (9.5 mm on original vs. 10 mm on Conti's) has anything to
do with it?
Ron, which belts do you carry at Bus Depot?  Any recommendations?

TIA,
