Re: OEM belt maker
Bzzzztttt!(?) Sorry, I don't think its Gates. I'm virtually positive the OE
belts are made my Continental. We used to buy the Continental belts when I
worked at the dealer to offer to folks in lieu of the overpriced VW/Audi
belts that sure looked the same, minus the ink stampings. Incidentally, I put
a Dayco timing belt on the Coupe because I was provided the wrong one by the
above mentioned dealer. It's rather noisy, and I'm certain it's tensioned
correctly, as it was installed by an excellent tech who owned a Cgt and
several VWs. Something worth considering.
