ChrisD Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hello, I recently purchased an 03 Blob, with 35k Miles on. in my "book of my cars history" a cam belt changed is not mentioned but... on my engine there is this sticker which to me indicated the belts were changed at 29k miles (i know it says km but 18k miles sounds wrong for a belt change) basically how do i know my belt has been changed? and how do i know if it had a full kit change, as I was looking at £380 to have the full cambelt kit, but if I dont need to I wont. any thoughts and ideas? The belt does say Gates on and Micro-v, so is it safe to say it has been changed? next step is, how do i know if it has had idlers and such and do i need them doing and so on?

ChrisD Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Also the date corresponds with it being miles and not KM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Does it not have any paperwork saying when it was done ? I'd say if you have any doubt I'd have it changed myself mate. And for the pulleys and pumps and stuff I'd have a read here :D http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/12028-help-with-changing-timing-belt/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisD Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 no paperwork, which is odd as everything else has been documented. I will replace all to be safe I think, expensive but it would be more expensive to get it wrong and leave a 12 year old belt on 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I think that's best choice mate. At least you know it's done. And helps with any resell value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
