2 in a row have cause me trouble. They are too tight. One caused a failure of an alternator bearing on my 9-3 the next caused squealing on a PS pump and then failure of the tensioner pulley in about 75K km... I will not use them again. The over heating happens VERY quickly and if you do not pull over or do some creative coasting 5 mins WILL cook the engine...even in cool temps let alone hot temps. I barely made it home by going to neutral and shutting off the engine and I was only 2km from home. It did put some stress on the tranny doing this for sure. I was at about 120 celcius on SID so barely made it. Over a year since so I dodged the bullet but I have to say contibelts are on my banned parts list...as well as GMB bearings of any kind.
