And now Contitech belts are made in China! I sure hope these China-made belts last as long as the German ones did. I was happy paying what I was paying before for German belts. In fact, I don't think the price dropped at all since they were made in China! I would rather pay 2-3 times as much for one that was made in Germany.
How disappointing. It went from CRP to CRAP. And to think that I just returned an air compressor belt that was made in the USA to confirm size, to Autozone because I wanted a German-made OEM Contitech over Duralast.
CHI-NA!
These are some alternator belts I bought 4 years ago, at which time they were still made in Germany.
