This one ? I'm not surprise that the belt broke ! Do a research on Rothenbacher Engineering

yes I think that was the one we bought.

Anybody know about the "Threat Detected" warning we get when signing in or is it just me?

Next time spend almost the same money as you spent and get a REAL timing belt and tensioner... I'm sure you've learned your lesson now, but anyhow...

Those are Continental belts - they are for all intents and purposes OEM.

Checkout Gates, they're a good brand as well.

They offer kits that includes the tensioner. That's the one I put in my car last time.

Indeed. Gates is as good or better than Conti/OEM. For the TDIs, they make the 100k PTFE coated belts that exceed the original belts.
