My car is down again, and this time it needs the timing done. Been researching parts and came across a kit from Continental. Includes belt, damper, idler, cam seals, tensioner bearing and metal water pump with gasket.

I know the belts have been good quality but is their timing kits just as good? I do intend on getting a thermostat as well which is not included as well as the cam chain tensioner gasket and half moon seal.

So what you guys think?

lol. I'm sure it will be fine. I opt for Conti whenever I have the choice, I've never used their kit persay but I always use the belts. I like to think that they are high on the quality of things so if they assembled the kit I would expect them to meet the same standards as they do for their belts.

Just to reiterate, I don't think I ever ran a Timing belt kit from Continental but I've had the belt on the S4 (b5) pretty much as long as I've owned the car (+10yrs). Just did a timing service last summer with this:FCP Conti Kits and I had somewhere in the ballpark of 90-100k on the old belt at the time. When I pulled the belts off, I run Conti acc belts to, they all looked fine, no crazy cracking or signs of major wear. Worn yes but nothing that I would be worried about. The kit above seemed to have good parts, all of the manufactures are OE and brands that I deem "reputable". I pieced together a kit locally for the 1.8 that I'm in the middle of installing now but I would highly recommend FCP as a part source if you haven't bought parts yet

Bought the Conti kit, but I need to get heads, so the car would prolly be down till late spring or so. I believe after this I would have done the trans, rear diff, center diff, both subframes and then the timing and heads. This car should need nothing for years to come.
