e-28: Timing Belt Noise

[Victor and Lisbeth Trucco <trucco@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I installed a new timing belt in my 1985 528e within the last 2 months.  It
was a Contitech belt.  After my car warms up the belt seems to be noisy.  I
spoke with a local mechanic who said he had a similar problem with a
customer and he ended up changing the belt and using a different
manufacturer which solved the problem.  He didn't know (or wouldn't give
me) the manufacture of the replacement belt.  My question is: does anyone
know of a belt manufacture that makes a good, quiet timing belt?  I sure
hate to redo a job I just got done completing but I'm not going to be
satisfied until the engine purrs smoothly.

Incidently,  I have ruled out the various v-belts as the noise culprit and
I did install a new belt tensioner when I replaced the timing belt.

Thanks for any assistance.
