Moss Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Hi Guys, I have my Brothers 202 Subaru Outback AWD, it's done 57000 miles and I don't know if the Cam Belt has been changed; or even if it has a Cam belt or is it a Cam-Chian ?? Anyhow I wondered if it needs changing or not? and what's the average cost of changing the Cam Belt at a Subaru Dealership? Knowledgeable advise appreciated..

Greenmamba Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 If it's a 2.5 4-pot, it's a belt. Chain only on the 3.0 6's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moss Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Thanks Greenmamba, 2002 - 2.5 engine runs nicely; but the car has done 57,000 miles over the last 13, years of it's life, the Subaru Outback AWD belonged to my brother; I'm not sure he had the cam belt changed? probably not. How important is it to get it changed? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenmamba Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 If it were mine, I'd get it changed. The belts should be changed both on miles travelled or years age - yours exceeds the upper limit on age alone by some years. It is an interference engine so if the belt snaps or slips teeth, major repairs inevitably follow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moss Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Subaru Dealer Abergavenny - £269 . 45. Not bad.. I'll get it done after Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
